LWRC Six8 6.8mm Special 8.5in Black Modern Sporting Pistol - 30+1 Rounds - The LWRCI’s Six8-Pistol was developed as a part of the Enhanced Rifle Cartridge program intended to address the terminal performance deficiencies associated with the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. As the name implies, the Six8-Pistol is chambered in the 6.8x43mm SPC II, a cartridge said to bridge the lethality gap between 5.56 and 7.62 NATO rounds by utilizing a heavier projectile for more energy on impact. One of the problems faced by the 6.8mm cartridge was a lack of reliable magazines, to solve this, LWRCI partnered with Magpul to create a magazine specifically intended for the 6.8mm round, and designed the Six8 family of weapons around said magazine. The magazine itself is reminiscent of the standard P-MAG such as its curved shape and texture, but features a slightly wider body and strengthened walls. Other features of the Six8-Pistol have been enhanced for use with the 6.8mm cartridge as well. This is evident in the enlarged ejection port, an Advanced Combat bolt calibrated for 6.8mm, and feeding geometry designed around the 6.8mm round’s dimensions.
