This posting to FedBizOpps is from May 2017, and a change was issued in August 2017, so it's a little dated, however SOCOM & MARSOC are seeking a new Lightweight Medium Machine Gun (LWMMG), capable of firing .338 NM belt fed rounds, firing between 500-600 rds per minute and weigh no more than 24lbs unloaded. They are anticipating to purchase 5,000 of these.
I am curious too as to whatever happened to the GD LWMMG they were developing several years ago as it appears SOCOM is trying to pit industry against the same salient characteristics against it.
