Not that I know of, my buddy said he was getting one, I can try to get him to record it in action though. Only problem is he lives in S.Dakota and I live in Illinois. Ill get him on ICQ tomorow and see if he has it yet. Ive heard it puts the 5.56mm to shame, but I quess thats not hard to do. I just wish they would come out with a 6.8mm conversion for the Sig! :lol:

i heard they fit the standard mags, so maybe a conversion for a sig would not be that hard.

Wish I had a little more clout in the Arms industry. :P

This is true, and it only lowers the magazine capacity to 28 rounds. ;)

not bad tradeoff for improved balistics, especialy for short barrelled rifles (i.e. m4s)

[fletch]

are the close protection people for paul beamer using 6.8mm m4s?

no it is not true, it will feed 5 or 6 rounds without problem but anymore then that and the mag body will swell and it wont fit in the mag well.

pri will be making specific mags for the 6.8 whit which hold 28 rounds.
