- SIG SAUER President and CEO Ron Cohen talks about the U.S. Army's historic Next Generation Squad Weapons Program and the revolutionary design the SIG SAUER team has developed.
- กีฬา
Yesterday we had a company meeting head by CEO Ron Cohen and he said "Today is the biggest day of my career....." referring to SIG winning the largest award EVER of the United States military of small arms. I'm so happy to be a part of the greatest company I've ever worked for and so proud of all the people I work with and for.
Why is there a side charging handle, a rear charging handle?
Congratulations!
He was drooling 🤤💵💵💵
@@jackmehoff2363 Redundancy, or probably just to give more options so people who already used the AR platform could easily use the gun without having to retrain their muscles again.
@@Josua070 if your concern is to worry people cant adapt to a nee gun, then the answer is to NOT MAKE A NEW GUN. i ask you to think that thought through. As far as redundancy thats silly. It adds weight and cost to an already heavy gun and an insanely expensive gun. Its truly not needed
Being a product tester at Sig must be a nice gig!
I would assume that the product testers are also the engineers who are designing the products.
@@TacticalMoistTowelette No. In manufacturing, in order to remove bias from the quality assurance process, and to discover potential defects, the designers usually are not allowed to test their own design. The testing has to be done independently.
Dream job!!!
I wonder if they have openings…
Product tester told me he shot 5k rounds a day 5-6 days a week.
Congratulations to Sig on the contract win!
I just wish I could get my hands on an mpx virtus and a full size p320 without having to pay ten times the msrp
Shoulda got it last year lol
@@raulmachado182 lol had I known shit was gonna be like this. Last year I was putting money into my car and for some reason didn't think to buy a gun again till I decided this year to get back into the gun world after finally having money for one and finding out its a shit show in the gun world right now
@@ganstathuganomics11 that's why you don't panic buy lol you shoulda made up your mind years ago when you turned 21 n got atleast 2 lol
@@raulmachado182 wasn't even panic buying just had the money for one and decided I wanted one again. Little did I know there was mass panic buying going on lol I thought it was just toilet paper, food, and what not
The reason they are so high is because of asshole price gougers not panic buying. Welcome to the firearm industry.
Wow, what a powerful speech. I am new to firearms at the age of 53 and purchased a P365 in October of 2020 and recently purchased a P365XL and I can say with great respect these handguns are a absolute piece of quality and engineering without a doubt. I do own a Glock I purchased in between the two 365s but always have the Sig as a part of me for my personal protection. Never strive to be number one by selling the most, be number one by quality and pride in what you do!
With the Sig or Glock, you made good choices, both perform excellent. Enjoy your pistols. Thanks
Can’t go wrong with Sig or Glock for that matter. Sig holds a very special place in my heart. The very first gun I’ve ever shot was my buddy’s P229 beck in the early 90’s and today I own one, along with a P320 X5, a p365XL, an M400 and a 516.
Love the Sig Sauer designs miles more compared to the competitors. They proved they are ready when they made the M17 to replace the Army M9. Good luck in the competition.
they won the NGSW contract
I’m a big fan of Sig Sauer, I’m really hoping to see what the future depare on new rifles, MG’s and ammo.
Their gun designs are quite ingenious
“its needs to be lighter!”
-weighs 2 pounds more than the M4.*
Its a bigger caliber. What I don't get is the price tag of $8,000 for a semi automatic rifle. The fn scar also got the contract for the army so why can they go with that?
@@liberallogic4268 that's the cost of the initial edition, so there is a premium there. I guess the price will come down in the coming years. Also, the 8k price tag includes the suppressor.
In term of practicality, I prefer building a ar 308 chamber in 6.5 creedmore, 20 inch barrel. It's much more economical, achieve close performance, and the barrel life should be much longer. To be honest, the most interesting stuff in this NGSW is actually the fire control, not the rifle and the new round.
We are merely passing through history - what SIG SAUER is doing with the NGSW Project is history.
Thanks for putting the video up.
Watching that suppressor glow and emit flames is pretty awesome
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
The suppressor was almost on fire, but kept on going. Amazing. Good Job Sig!
i want that Sig Sauer MCX Spear with the .227 Fury and the other caliber conversions.
You and i both.Sig is definitely a special product and company.
Never heard of that round
@@mattybthatsme4451 .277 fury he meant to type lol, its a brand new round, check it out
@@TheGennessy sarcasm needs a font...
If you can get your hands on one make sure you have enough to buy the caliber conversion kits otherwise you will never get one.
Awesome and beautiful guns !
Absolutely a special weapon,that is something I would be honored to own..
What's special about it
@@AmericanBusinessman422 Function and feel ,I have a couple different SIGs would love this one
Bruh, its just a gun. Not a family heirloom.
@@pantherowow77 For one I’m not bruh, thank God..
@@pantherowow77 glock owner. 😂🤣😂🤣
Congratulations on the contract!
congrats on the selection.
Congratulations y’all!
I have been a SIG fan since 1998 when I purchased my first P-220. From that first pistol I now own a P-229 in 357 and 40, P-226, P-239, P-365, M-17 and M-18. The M-18 is my routine carry piece but I do rotate every week so the rest of the guns in my safe do not become jealous or feel left out.
Yes, I am a SIG man. I liked them before they got any military contracts. I own several, and all other guns are rated against my P-226 and P-220. I love the M-17. Wished they had them when i was in the military. Did not like the M-9.
fine work
Incredible nice job, way to go.
Tell me why it's incredible
@@AmericanBusinessman422 I have been taken a safety firearms course and the instructor was in awe when I pulled out my Sig Sauer 911 9mm with Rosewood grips.
The craftsmanship that goes into your firearms.
Now I do own other firearms as well. The Taurus GC2 which was my first and a kel tec.
There is no comparison at all.
My wife suggested we go to a gun store a few months back, she knows I enjoy looking and I was actually looking at a baby eagle.
My wife called me and I walked over and she said look at this, and there it was.
A company that takes such great pride in doing what they do best deserves to be recognized.
Sig Sauer makes a very dependable firearm.
I love your videos
I would just love to shoot one.
I bought my first Sig Sauer 2 months ago and getting ready to purchase a 911 45 to sit next to my 911 9 micro subcompact which I carry as a EDC
@@MrLordleland okay, we understand know you're brainwashed by the marketing but you've failed to answer why this gun is incredible....
@@AmericanBusinessman422 seems to be very well made, lighter than let’s say the M60 which I carried for many years.
Sig Sauer I consider more be more dedicated about your product than just mass production.
Even the M16 was first produced by Mattel
And then colt bought the rights from Armalite in 1959.
Over the years the quality of firearms has gone down and today you can buy a 9mm for 100.00
I’ve done a lot of research on sig Sauer.
What your company has put together will for ever change warfare
Damn, this gave me the feels.
Sig, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for not trying to reinvent the wheel
such great tools
Fell in love with SIG since Romeo 5. I love you SIG please take me.
awesome
I'd like to see you guys do more with the M400. Maybe make a classic variant?
I absolutely would buy one right now Sig!! Lets go!!
They won't sell us one right now. They would rather sell to the govt.
Congrats
Congratulations on landing the contract!
SIG owns the game now baby :P
Sig offers a complete weapon system...firearm,optics,ammo,etc. That is why they won the military pistol and rifle contracts.
Wow, this changes everything. Most of the industry we sell machine tools to still machines the inside baffles from stock material. If Sig is using 3D additive printing, they can design the internal guts where machining just can't do it. Great job Sig !
1:51 I see what u did there Mr. Cohen. BRAVO 👏👏👏
Good shit!
Are you guys still making the MCX Gen 2 11.5” 5.56? When are your new lineup of suppressors coming out?
Congratulations! Get some!
Congrats Sig!!!!!!!!
I❤SIG I❤🇺🇲
I just purchased the 911 9mm. It is the smoothest firing weapon I own. I am going to do a review on it soon
😂 sig doesn’t have a 911 model… you mean the Springfield 911 or did you mean to say 1911?
It's so nice
Congrats !!!! Big Sig Fan...Hope we Get a Civilian Version that's Affordable
Very High Quality New Sig Sauer 6,8x51mm Rifle ...i like it ...
Congratulations SigSauer
This is a question for sig, will the spear be interchangable with a LR10/dpms lower (with a adaptor) like the mcx in 556?
Game changer in many way. The rife and machine gun use the same ammo, no more two types. Then it’s a battle caliber to go at anything it hits with authority on the regular. No more spray and pray because aimed fire is the standard, 6.8mmx51 solves many shortcomings. Now the ar15 5.56mm isn’t going anywhere and same for us 7.62x51/ 308 people but the military just needed more of a good thing.
This is like the MPT-76 but improved. I like this new battle rifle idea.
So why didn't they give the MCX Spear a recoil reduction mechanism like the machine gun has?
Also if the M4 length wasn't a requirement would it be possible to give the 6.8 a smaller hybrid case and still have it preform the same out a 18 inch barrel?
can’t wait for this to be in tarkov
I've never even considered another platform other than Sig.
They get it. They're the best. Period.
Is that why both the p320 & p365 had issue's and they released them anyway huh 🤔. It's funny there slogan is never settle and I wouldn't settle for one of their firearms
SUPER... SIG. 250. MX. 5. MX 7. BRAVOOOOOO.... ❤❤❤
As colt will finally be laid to rest. Looks like SIG is about to shine.
Huge congratulations are in order for winning the contract. Great job!
Its a cool gun. But one has to ask. WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A REAR CHARGING HANDLE AND A SIDE CHARGING HANDLE!?
@@jackmehoff2363 choice.
@@CPurdiePlays thats a terrible answer. It adds weight and adds cost to rifle.
@@jackmehoff2363 so then why don't you reach out to Sig and ask instead of asking on a YT video?
If we could get MCX parts that'd be fantastic
Does this have a star chamber as well I'm asking because I could never get the corners when cleaning ?
The engineers that created the HK416 have been at Sig for decades now.
Get Some!
I owe a significant number of firearms. All but two of them are Sig Sauer.... ❤️
Is the 6.8 by 51mm an intermediate rifle cartridge or a full-power one? I thought it is the former. It may be in-between.
full power...
6.8x51 is a fantastic replacement for 7.62x51 (6.5CM would work equally as well, but that's too easy). The fundamental flaw in the theory of NGSW is the bulk of 6.8x51 ammo. They need to redo NGSW with high pressures and hybrid cartridge cases in either the 6mmARC or 6.5 Grendel or something very close. Remake the NGSW cartridge in the AR15 form factor and you have a winner.
Yes, exactly. NATO shouldn't have to buy entirely new weapons and magazines when they can just convert them to a new round that's deadlier but just as dimensionally compact as 5.56.
They had thought of that, but it would defeat the purpose of the switch. The new ammo is more than just bigger
@@samuelbishop3316 Please explain.
@@sixfivearms8896 Velocity and ammo weight saving. Ammo weight saving obviously for the bigger around, but velocity to crack body armour. The 6.8 from sig has roughly 25 percent more energy on target than similsr rounds of the same size, so that body armour of nations with large militaries is less of a problem. The issue is higher chamber pressure is what they want to acomplish this and that means regular rounds won't do, nor will regular rifles.
Pretty sure sig's weapon is somewhere around 90,000 chamber psi, 50 cal is like 60 thousand. Oretty sure those numbers are right but it't been a while since I read on it so you might want to check
Congrats to SIG SAUER on their biggest contract ever.
Get it done.
i wonder if sig will also make a grenade launcher attactment for the new rifles?
Both platforms are 6.8X51?
Soo, we have ak-12 and rpl - 18 but in m4 (or scar) platform varint
I think this was significantly designed for Afghanistan. If we had stayed it would have been the game changer greatly influencing politics and culture change in that country.
💓💓💓
I wonder if True Velocity will be able to make their ammo for this or is it too high pressure?
The engineers at TV actually were able to make their cartridge work at normal 7.62nato chamber pressures utilizing some creative space capacity pressure curves inside their casing. They have a promo/propaganda reel they released about a month ago showing them do barrel swaps on legacy 762nato weapons like m110s and m240s. The lack of an increase in rate of fire tells me they succeeded in keeping port pressures and chamber pressures low when they did the barrel swap on the 240. Truth be told sig very well could win but I think GD/TVC/Berreta has the better thought out design at least in the cartridge department. Of course this is just my two cents.
I would say that the GD/TV entry would be the most attractive to nato allies vs the sig where they can economically re-barrel their existing 7.62nato platforms to the 6.8TVC allowing a much easier path to nato standardizing BUT my gut tells me the DoD is less concerned with nato standardization nowadays and could care less if we chose a cartridge that either didn't work with existing euro platforms and then forcing them to change their entire arsenals to our new cartridge requiring entirely new weapon systems or force feeding SIG's proprietary designs on our allies. Obviously SIG would very much prefer the idea of being the sole proprietor of an entire class of nato ammo and weapons. Now the we in the US wouldn't be effected militarily by such a drastic change TOO much due to our addiction to trying to break our own national debt records but it could lead to some serious economic problems for some of our smaller and less economically powerful nato allies especially ones in strategic regions like Ukraine. Long story short US gun enthusiasts seem to really like the 6.8fury and it's up pressured military variant while I could see nato allies more interested in the 6.8TVC putting the DoD right in the middle of 2 competing camps. I honestly don't think texatron's bid will go anywhere but I have been wrong before.
The Sig CEO looks like that Tengu Master from teh 47 Ronin movie.
Sig should win!
Вы лучшие ....
Cohen is a beast
What is this that I am hearing rumors of SIG making a new (M6 Bullpup)? can you elaborate?
which one would be for civilian??????
i wonder what the code # is for a paint like that 😍
How many rounds does this weapon shoot a minute?
Could sig make their version of a spas 12 or a benelli?
I hope they get hk engineers, Glock ext, I know there’s competition but if they can optimize the rifles to the best possible ones for nato that would be awesome
Would the MCX Spear upper fit on a MCX Virtus lower?
No because the calibers are different and so are the dimensions for the magazine.
the weight reduction on the M250 compared to M249 seems really huge. not so certain if the extra weight is worth it for the M5 tho. we'll have to wait and see
Big fan of Sig across the board. Always been impressed with their hardware.
Why does the gun have both side charging handle and a rear charging handle?
So, we are never going to get the p322?
That gel🥺
Awesome, hey SIG, can I have a job there I would love to get hired there.
Sig Sauer seems to be doing it all right, except locating their factory where it would be appreciated and prosper further, e.g. Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky…..
Congrats sig :)
I would just like to get a rifle I’ve had in order for 6 months now. I’m not a soldier but I will be using it for work purposes.
Please it’s a beefed up M-4 with with a little larger ammo.
"lets replace the M9 with a gun capable of firing a round if dropped wrong."
"Lets replace the M4 with an objectively worse round just to fuck with ammo weight and shite."
"Lets replace the M4 with a slightly different M4"
You should be impressed by the Army personnel, they are handing you several BILLION dollars in contracts.
I can’t wait to break it
Does Sigaur produce a 50 call repeater like Barrett now produces ? 👽
They use to I wanted to buy one until it got discontinued
Where is this program today?
They won both rifle and MG contracts.
Will there be a civilian version?
It's already on sale as the MCX SPEAR. Pretty expensive at USD 8K tho, and only at certain shops.
Would be nice to be able to get ANY Sig gun right now, yeah, times are crazy, but why make other guns when you cant even supply this civi market????
Why not a heavier caliber for your M17 pistols?
The first clip is the Drug Enforcement Administration FAST team, not military
Does SIG SAUER open courses??
Nice. Hey guys, now that Sig will have more money than god, can you PLEASE manufacture mags for the P230/P232 again. It's not like I want them free either, but they're impossible to find except for promags... and Promags suck...
