This is an interesting looking rifle from General Dynamics:
General Dynamics RM277
I like the idea of the 6.8mm round. I wonder if the rest of NATO is ready to adopt a new cartridge?

I don't like the bullpup design...don't like having my face that close to the chamber...that is probably just me, but I don't like it.

My problem with bullpups: If you experience a jam, access to the bolt head and chamber is slow, clumsy, and convoluted.
Compare breech access of any bullpup to that of the Garand/M14 and the SKS.
However, the cartridge contemplated for use in this new design is a sterling idea.
It's light-weight, it's very easily manufactured, and it's easy to recover and completely recyclable.
