GD XM806

The XM806’s quality is achieved through significant reduction in weight and recoil. The reduced weight allows for easy transport and use by tactical ground combat units, expanding the mission flexibility of .50 caliber firepower. The recoil mitigation technology improves accuracy and dispersion, which significantly reduces ammunition consumption. The XM806 incorporates a quick-change barrel with fixed headspace and timing. The weapon is compatible with existing weapon sights, ensuring effective target engagement to 1,800 meters. With a simplified design, the XM806 is reliable and easy to maintain. The light-weight, low recoil XM806 easily integrates on stabilized remote weapon stations (RWS) and provides a unique opportunity to mount a .50 caliber weapon on the newest generation of RWS. This offers a significant firepower advantage for vehicles limited by weight or recoil constraints. Dispersion: 1.1 milliradians, one sigma radius.
