“Eventually, we’ll have to replace the M-4/M-16. All present research is time and rounds well spent. The more sweat poured out today is less blood spilled tomorrow.”
Bingo.
Quite honestely, the advances will more than likely be incremental in the delivery (weapon) but exponentially effective in the delivered (ammo).
As I indicvated before on this thread, we’re working on more than just the means of delivery, but also the LETHALITY of the delivered projos.
