#MARSRifle

In a few years Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, plans to get humans to Mars. I’m pretty sure most people have seen the Planet in the sky, knowingly or not. It’s the 4th planet from the Sun and it’s a rather cold one. It also has the largest volcano in the Solar System, and to me, it sounds like a one-way road to go there. I’d rather watch as others take-off, but if I was going there I’d rather go armed, and what better choice than a CZ BREN? A sound suppressor might not be needed in space, but who knows?

Cobalt Kinetics has published a news release announcing that in cooperation with MARS Inc. they have submitted a new carbine (NGSW-R), light machine gun (NGSW-AR) and 6.8mm cartridge to US Army’s NGSW (Next Generation Squad Weapons) program. The program is targeted to replacing the M4/M16 family of rifles and carbines as well as the M249 SAW LMG by new weapons and ammunition that will provide enhanced performance.

TFB recently presented the Laws in the United Kingdom on how to obtain a Firearms License. I think we can all agree that they are pretty strict as they are, but unfortunately, things are becoming even stricter.

I learned about the MARS rifle right before the SHOT Show 2019. The video demonstration of this rifle on the company’s website showed that while being chambered in .308 Winchester, the rifle virtually has no recoil. Needless to say that I was curious to find the MARS Inc. at the show and see if the gun matches the claims.

Manual Action Lever Release (MALR) rifles gets a come-back in the new 2019 IPSC Rifle rule book.
