IOC for a new pistol in June of 2020 is even more hilarious. Its been more than a year since there was any news on where this even sits.

The winner of CAFSAC this year will win not because of marksmanship, but because of their ability to locate and retain possession of a functional pistol.

They should buy the Sig 320 for the single reason that this is what the American's bought.

There is not enough difference between the Sig and other similar designs pistols for the average soldier to notice. They can save themselves a lot of time money and heartache by just directing the procurement to Sig than having another expensive and stupid tender that could likely result in a shotgun winning the competition.
 
And here we go again -
1) Will the replaced small arms be sold to the public?
2) Why does it take so long?
3) "They" should just buy the (insert brand of choice)?
4) Why don't they just send everything back through DIEMACO for (insert pet peeve of choice)?
5) Heck, back in my day ........

Oh, and
6) What is the best polar bear defence small arm issued to the CAF?

Last time no one wanted to give Colt Can the proprietary info on their design specs so no one wanted to play, I'm guessing this won't be much different. 8000 pistols is a medium sized police department, so no real impetus to participate.

This post was the highlight of my day with #6 :)
 
Anyone else think that a 6 x Scope on a gpmg is not a good idea. Yes it can increase your hit probability at extended range, but with a limited field of view you might not see the soldiers you are providing covering fire for.
 
And we all know the answer is the C19.

Everything about the program update is sad :(

Im not even convinced that it would increase pHit all that much.

And yes, tunnel vision would be a problem. But that is what det cmdrs and #2s are for.
 
Is the C19 Ranger rifle really "sniper grade" as advertised?

Equipping the C6 with a Spectre DR 1X - 6X switch would be a good idea, but a straight 6X would be too narrow FOV for bipod mobile role IMO.

I completely agree, most of the contracts are to small to interest anybody and DND is such a pain to deal with it is not worth the hassle for those who might care. I am pretty sure Baltimore has a larger sniper program than the CF and won't be nagging their suppliers decades after delivery or delaying payment by years.
