[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3041116, member: 127412"] I disagree. I see where they’re going with their marketing to .gov. 1. .gov has bottomless pockets, so cost is a nonissue. 2. The military changed tactics in Nam by issuing the M16. The M16 uses a smaller cartridge allowing GIs to carry more ammo. Wounding more of the enemy and spraying the earth with ammo was achieved. 3. Fast forward to our recent 20 years in the desert, and it was the 5.56X45 round was lacking in knockdown power at longer ranges…typically found in Afghanistan. They had to pull old M-14 rifles out of moth balls and grease to fill the need of a longer range squad weapon. 4. Here is where this new…cough…new/used idea comes into play. GIs can now carry lots of ammo with more range and knockdown power and likely keep the same weapons already in the armories. The military doesn’t reload. They buy newly manufactured ammo. [/QUOTE]
