Description
The U.S. Army has just approved what’s being called the M8, and yes, it comes right after the M7. So what is it? Is this a replacement, an upgrade, or something else entirely? In this video, James sits down with SIG Sauer’s Adam Agri to break down exactly what the M8 is, why it exists, and what changes were made based on real soldier feedback. We cover weight reduction, barrel length changes, increased magazine capacity, suppressor improvements, and what this means for the future of the M7 and the Next Generation Squad Weapon program. If you’ve been hearing rumors about a new U.S. military rifle, this is the real story straight from SIG.
