I do not get how Hollywood gets details of military shit so wrong.

I just won a bet that we'd end up just adopting an ultra high pressure 5.56.

You want a bullpup so you can have a short carbine for CQB and vehicle ops.

I'm a shotgun guy.

Tbh- we won't see any HICAR ammo on the civvie market for a minute. But the URGI is just a normal cold hammer forged chrome lined AR barrel and a normal high end bolt.

My concern wasn't even with the civvy market. The military is so dogshit about maintaining their guns. They're not going to retrofit all their guns to accommodate the new ammo and they're definitely not going to maintain all their guns. Just look at the M9. Replacing the springs every 5 rounds was too much to ask. You just need a screwdriver to get the grips off and a punch to remove one pin for the hammer spring. The recoil spring doesn't need any tools at all. That's just too much to ask. Then according to Inky the M4s are in shit shape too. They'll have a grunt spend hours removing every trace of carbon from the gun to get it as pristine as humanly possible then not have the armorer fix broken parts lol.

At 82k PSI we're well into barrel burner territory, it exceeds the legendary barrel burner .243 SRC by over 10kpsi, .223 WSSM by even more. I'm betting catastrophic throat erosion after 5-8k rounds unless they have a stellite chamber insert like the 1919A4 or M60.

Have you seen the recent announcement by Proof and their new PXT barrels?

Yeah- Stellite.

What I've imagined is having the lands (but not the rest of the barrel) be made of tungsten carbide. OFC I don't know how viable that is.

Strangely enough such things do exist.

So- the "ideal" no expense barred ultra high life HPHV barrel:
