SIG Sauer's MCX-SPEAR can fire bullets with twice the kinetic energy of an AR-15 The Daily Beast reported. I'm assuming that they are referring to the .227 Fury (6.8 x 51) round that was initially offered. Sigs Website doesn't even list that rifle let alone in that caliber anymore.
This is just another scare tactic by the gun grabbing fear mongers. Even if these were widely commercially available, I don't think your average evil criminal individual with a penchant to commit murder would be able to afford an MSRP $7999 price tag let alone the cost of the .227 Fury round. (That's if they can even find it readily commercially available). To commit mass murders with.
Just stop with the bull**** already.
