Black Gun,
It's an improved design, apparently, a refined version.
Here's one for you: the C6, AKA the Mag-58, how long do you think we've had those?

I don't like it...
The newest variant of the Minimi (C9) seem to have more advantages.
- does not seem to have a gaz regulator.
- In 5.56, you want want a faster cyclic rate
- no alternate means of feed (mags)
- Only 1 lenght of barrel
It has the same front sight and box clip as the minimi
They are 30 years too late, as Airborne said, the Mag-58... came out in 58 and the minimi, the smaller brother, came out at the early 80's
If it get in production, they will sell, especially in the US where Eugene Stoner is a Legend.
Looks cool

From a non-crew served weapon, I would think 550RPM would be more than enough.

Not being a machine-gunner, nor overly versed in the theory of Machine-gun fire, I'm going to stray out of my lane and suggest that it looks like a handy package that, if reliable, might be a good option.
Lemme see what I can see from the pics...
-QC Barrel
-integrated rail on the upper and quad rail on the handguards.
-upper sight rail on rear of receiver is not connected to the top cover, so no loss of zero issues (a la C-9/M-249)
-Some parts commonality with M-16 family (look at the trigger group)
-Compact
-550 RPM probably increases controllability in FA fire (remember the BAR from WWII? Had a ROF of 550 RPM too....)
-No integrated bipod, add a couple of pounds to the weight to factor that in.
-Sight line *appears* compatible with M-16 sights, so standard M-16 type optics and iron sight options should work.
*shrug*
I'm outta my lane, but there's some stuff I noted on it. I'll defer to the experts, but hey, it's a lot of gun in a small package. Probably a handy car gun?

C7's does not weight 10 pounds and have a faster rate of fire. 550 is good, howerver, sometimes, faster could be better, so an adjustable gas regulator may be helpful, especially when the gas system get full of carbon, you may start experiencing stoppage.
