Currently based in Martin Grier’s Colorado Springs garage, Forward Defense Munitions may have what the Army has long been looking for.
FDM’s 6.5-pound experimental “ribbon gun” has four 6mm bores in one barrel and is loaded with four-shot caseless ammo blocks that can be snapped together to eliminate a traditional detachable magazine.
