[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2795045, member: 8394"] None of this really impresses me. It's just lots of taxpayer dollars spent on something with an ooh shiny to placate us for the lack of results. Three years ago some synthetic case manufacturer was begging for money from the .gov about their whiz bang new mfg technique. They lauded the ability to setup plants quickly, touted it as a primary merit... you know in case of war it would scale quick. and yet in the middle of the hottest ammo market in 3 panic cycles they couldn't figure out how to self fund to profitability a new "latest at greatest". Wake me up when it's viable in the private sector.... We spent 20 years chasing and loosing to enemies no where near peer status. The idea of lighter ammo sounded great. Look at the ww1 style slug fest going on in Europe right now. It's not high zoot warfare, it's who can make the most cheapest... and it isn't our post nafta backsides doing that. Take that sweet high pressure very expensive stainless steel case... and put it in the hands of the chubby purple haired they's and thems were raising en masse...doesn't tip the scale much does it.
