At SHOT Show 2023 we got our first look at the Individual Weapon System, chambered in .264 Lightweight Intermediate Caliber Cartridge (LICC) - a round developed from .264 USA. Developed by FN America in response to a requirement from the Irregular Warfare Technology Support Directorate the new rifle looks to address many of the same questions as the US Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon programme. I spoke to FN at SHOT Show and I've dug up the original IWS requirements so this video represents everything we know about the ISW at the moment. Sadly the rifle was behind glass at the show so we couldn't handle the weapon and the lighting wasn't ideal for filming but we got a decent look.

Winchester Model 1905 .45ACP Conversion
Pistol calibre carbines have been all the rage for a while but this Winchester Model 1905 chambered in .45 ACP and feeding from Colt 1911 magazines is an interesting early example of rechambering a commercial carbine in a pistol calibre.
