Also known as: XM250
The M250 is the U.S. military designation for the SIG LMG 6.8, a 6.8×51mm (.277 in), gas-operated, belt-fed light machine gun designed by SIG Sauer for the U.S. Army's Next Generation Squad Weapon Program in 2022 to replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. The M250's design is an offshoot of the SIG Sauer MG 338 which SIG was also developing for SOCOM.
