Will the SIG Sauer MG 338 be the replacement of the Ma Deuce in the U.S. Army as it was designed as the weapon to bridge the gap between the M240 GPMG and the Browning M2HB. Garand Thumb got one to test and give his thoughts... "The M338 is currently in competition to replace several different weapon systems for both SOCOM and the US Army. And although it’s still early it is a real treat to be able to get some hands on time with this prototype MMG."

The Firearm Blog goes more in-depth on the SIG MG 338 MG which is now being used by the US SOCOM... "In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves interviews SIG about their ultimate belt-fed machine gun – the MG 338. The gun weighs under 20 lbs and is chambered in .338 Norma Magnum giving the gun an effective range out to 2000 metres. This machine gun uses a short-stroke gas piston system and SIG Sauer’s proprietary recoil mitigation system, it can also be re-chambered to 7.62x51mm.
