The M-16/M-4 series and 5.56mm cartridges are the longest serving rifles in US Army history for a reason you know. In your world you're doing me a 'favor' by "trading up" to 7.62mm.but in effect you're cutting my ammo load by 20% while simultaneously saddling all the females in my unit with weapons they cannot properly employ, and also sticking the mech troops with rifles that a lot of guys will biitch about because "these new weapons are too long and are always getting hung up in our cramped vehicles." When viewed against those criteria- for the typical soldier- the 5.56x45mm cartridge is CLEARLY the best overall choice. I wrote you a list of seven items which should be considered in weighing/choosing/comparing any small arm cartridge(s). So again.i'm looking for the 'other things' a round gives you. I can kill my target quite fine with any of those cartridges. To me it makes no real difference wrt lethality. THEN, just 10 years later the change from 7.62 NATO to 5.56 occured.Īnd now people are babbling about the 6.8 SPC round and the M468. 30-06 was ditched in favor of 7.62 NATO, and purchases 1.4 million M-14 rifles. Then in 1906- just ten years later- they switched from. I made baseless accusations in my last post?
