Designed with the needs of modern warfighters in mind Sig Sauer’s MCX Virtus is the next generation of the AR platform. The rifle is modular by design, allowing for fast changes in caliber (5.56 NATO and 300 ACC Blackout) and configuration with minimal tool use, so much so that Sig Sauer claims it can be customized into over 500 configurations. The MCX Virtus’ main feature is its gas operated short-stroke recoil system which is completely contained within the rifle's upper receiver, eliminating the need for a buffer tube and allowing the rifle to utilize a folding stock. The rifle also utilizes Sig’s taper-lok muzzle system allowing user the ability easily and change the rifles muzzle attachments; the MCX was designed specifically to be suppressor friendly.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington
