The '''LoneStar Future Weapons RM277''' is an American assault rifle developed by Texas-based firearms manufacturing venture LoneStar Future Weapons. It is chambered in a proprietary ammunition, polymer-cased 6.8mm TVCM manufactured by LoneStar's parents company, True Velocity. It was unveiled in 2021 and submitted for evaluation by the United States military for the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) competition to find a design to replace the [[M4A1]] in military service. The design was originally conceived by General Dynamics in 2020 before LoneStar took over development of the project.
