Grendel LMG

I strongly disagree.


There's an extremely simple solution to that problem: Don't bring an extra barrel!!!


That could still be done with a QCB. Having a QCB incurs negligible weight penalty, as proven by the Steyr AUG, Ultimax 100, and Stoner LMG.
Plus, having a QCB avoids the need to constantly remove SAWs from service to replace worn out barrels, since QCBs can be changed by users.

What I actually meant was that a QCB-functionality is nice to have, but not strictly necessary. I would like to have a way to swap barrels in the field, but not necessarily while hot.

I know everything about the simple solution of not bringing the extra barrel. However, when I have mentioned that it is not necessary to bring a spare barrel for a fire-ambush ( surprise the enemy, then get away), I have always been told to toughen the beep up and lift more weights...

So, my conclusion to that is that if you could mount a kitchen-sink to it, and one was available, you would have to bring that too...
