    Not ‘just a gun’: New SOCOM rifle allows barrel swapping and cartridge changes

    U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is fielding the MK24 Medium Range Gas Gun Assault rifle, which allows operators to swap barrels and cartridges between 7.62mm NATO and 6.5mm Creedmoor. The rifle, contracted from Iowa-based LMT Defense, replaces the MK17 SCAR and emphasizes rapid deployment and adaptability for varied mission requirements.
