We can see that the rifle has slimmed down with a new MLOK forend and a slimmer contoured receiver. The leading edge running up to the magazine housing, which encompassed the ejection port, is now gone and the rifle has a more AR-style appearance. The rifle retains a full length top rail and is seen in the footage running a red dot and magnifier with 45-degree off-set back up iron sights. It appears that the submitted suppressor design has changed, or has a new sleeve, at least compared to the one displayed with the rifle at SHOT Show.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6682\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6682\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Textron-promo-vid-rifle-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Textron-promo-vid-rifle-3.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Textron-promo-vid-rifle-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Textron-promo-vid-rifle-3-1024x578.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Textron-promo-vid-rifle-3-768x434.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6682\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close up shot of the Textron NGSW-R (Textron)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We also get a look at the recoil of both the rifle and the automatic rifle with both appearing reasonable controllable \u2013 although we only see the rifle fire in semi-auto and the footage appears slowed.<\/p>\n<p>The Textron NGSW-Automatic Rifle prototype is also seen in action.
