PROOF Research Awarded $11M Contract For Future Weapon Systems Development
Columbia Falls, MT - PROOF Research, has been awarded a $11.42 million contract for development of advanced hybrid composite muzzle brakes and medium caliber barrels for future weapon systems.
“This project demonstrates the scalability and broad application of PROOF’s technology to any weapon system. It is an exciting progression of our commercial and military small caliber products that will generate a tactical advantage in larger weapons. We are looking forward to improving the tools available to our warfighters. PROOF’s hybrid composite barrel technology is unique in that it opens up the design space to provide lightweight, high stiffness barrels that cannot be manufactured with traditional materials and techniques. We can design and build medium caliber weapon system barrels with performance characteristics previously not attainable" stated PROOF Research CEO, Larry Murphy.

In industry language, what does "medium caliber" mean? I'm assuming we're talking larger than 300winmag.

.300 Norma mag, .338 Norma LMG, and I have seen a .50 BMG proto as well I believe. Just a "Guess."
I have heard very mixed reviews on the barrels themselves however. They have a beautiful manufacturing facility and range.
