FRT forced reset trigger for rapid firing is different from the notorious auto sears. It is an aftermarket modified trigger and they made some for Canik pistols.

So, do you want to use your sidearm as a CIWS against drones, you better have spare magazines.

Well 300 is a heavy projectile, it's not optimized for range. In fact it's mostly for subsonic use with suppressors, but it does have supersonic rounds that are ok for some range. Inaccurate to compare it to rounds that are optimized for range

.300 AAC hits harder than a 5.56 but of course lacks the sheer velocity (on purpose), it will be a nice addition for special forces

So we should also produce hybrid case ammunition soon. Without such ammunition this caliber useless.
View attachment 80431
I was expecting this but this was sooner than I anticipated. If us army is gonna use this round as primary munition, other NATO armies should have stocks of this ammo too, so it makes sense for other NATO armies to make their own 6.8 rifles. But the round is proprietary afaik. They should pressure them to license it for cheap. Ofc NATO is no longer what it is but still

MKE has introduced the MPT-68, the newest member of its National Infantry Rifle family, to the public for the first time

The MPT-68 combines the power of a 16-inch barrel and new generation 6.8×51 mm ammunition in a single platform, unlike traditional calibers. Capable of penetrating even Level 4 ballistic armor and possessing high firepower, the MPT-68 will provide Turkish soldiers with absolute fire superiority in the field.

What are the features of the MPT-68?

Designed by MKE engineers, the MPT-68 is manufactured from special alloys with higher durability compared to standard steels. The rifle's resistance to high pressure has been increased through additional processing. The rifle, which has two firing modes (semi-automatic and automatic), weighs 4 kilograms. With a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s, the MPT-68 has a rate of fire of 700 (±100) rounds per minute and can effectively fire at a range of 800 meters.

The MPT-68, notable for its ergonomic design, is 1 meter long (with stock extended). Its adjustable (telescopic) stock offers ease of use. Thanks to its high-pressure, short-stroke gas piston system, the MPT-68 reduces heat and dust from reaching the mechanism, providing uninterrupted performance even under challenging conditions.
