[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3005557, member: 27307"] That's the point of my post. I am not privy to any of the advanced developments in arms or ammunition. :( Why are we assuming (?) that the Barrett rifle and ammunition is the only solution to this submission? The cartridge has been around since 2005 and has received little improvement except for the potential of some newer solid bullets which they aren't listing as possible loads. The new owners are certainly looking for the ever present cash cow, the U.S. military establishment. They don't have to put any money into it as both the rifle and the ammunition already exist. So, drawing on your experience, which I respect, what would you think is a viable alternative to a Barrett submission? Asked respectfully. [/QUOTE]
