[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 160919, member: 12"] Face it, the military is run by "bean counters" and procurement weinies that never shoot or carry what they design and procur. **** few cases of procurement actually giving the guy in the field what he actually needs or wants. By the time the bean counters get done making it politically correct so it will fit the small hands of the female, low recoil so able to take less time to train to actually hit something, able to pack more ammo, etc etc we end up with what we got. That is why SF went out and got their own ammo that will put someone down from Blackhills. Bradley fighting vehicle is prime example, in 80s it was going to be lightweight, C130 deployable and swim. After everyone got done adding their BS requirements, **** thing swam like a lead weight and was too **** heavy to deploy in aircraft and lost space for 2-3 soldiers so what did they do, they cut the size of a squad to fit the stupid vehicle. The 308 is a good intermediate round, but right now the push is on for the 338 or 416 for the LR (1000 plus meters) round for both the USMC and the Army. BH [/QUOTE]
