True. IF you're using Ball Ammo. We're dinking around with stuff that's truly “lethal”. To the effect that if you hit the guy in the supper arm, no more arm and part of the shoulder to boot.
That's all I'll say, except that it has undergone JAG review and survived.
We don’t need a technology driver like the OICW, and we also shouldn’t settle for some re-warmed old potatoes in a new package. What we need at this point is something feasible that brings a real advantage to the table, and nothing so far proposed fits that description.
Think: first mini-ball, semi auto, first breech loader........
What we need is something that “significantly” enhances either the capabilities or performance of the weapon. The goal isn’t to make a fashion statement, change things just for the sake of changing, or to make some guys feel special by adopting a toy for them. We don’t need any more Army black-beret nonsense, and essentially that’s what a lot of this is.
