SIG Sauer M250 belt-fed automatic rifle with optic, suppressor, bipod, and ammunition pouch

Technical basis

The M250 uses the Army’s 6.8×51 mm cartridge and a lightweight belt-fed architecture. In The Holy Land, heavy U.S.-provided hostile-space-clearing robots carry M250s because the weapon offers more ammunition and persistence than the compact spiderbots’ single-shot systems.
