[QUOTE="Wild Monkey, post: 1707690, member: 103097"] Hindsight we hear how the 5.56 Ammo is Lighter and more lead flying and all that firefight jargon. True Military testing showed shortcomings in the original AR10 and for the most part failed miserably. Yet the same design scaled down performed very well in 5.56 format. I don't know how exactly the chocolate and the peanut butter made the Rees'es as there's much data linking the 5.56 to much older Cartridges through development. In reality the AR10 never amounted to beans and had little to do with the 7.62x51 adoption as it was already in place. All these same shortcomings for the Modern Military Infantry will again come out and I'll bet donuts the Trials will see umpteen failures the "new" 6.8 will dish out. Sometimes I think it's more someone wants some fresh profits over practicality. Uh... why are we still in Afghanistan? Oh oops, don't want to get Political when Defense Contractors stand to make more profit. [/QUOTE]
