Description
Description | The US Army partnered with Pennsylvania-based manufacturers Carpenter Technology and Geissele Automatics to develop a next-generation small arms barrel with greater durability and wear resistance for high-pressure weapons. The project involved developing a high-strength alloy (GNB 200) and refining cold hammer forging techniques to produce barrels at scale. Testing showed significantly improved performance in M240L machine guns, and a new rifle profile design was patented in October 2025. |
