"Ehhh,, at one time when the army was interested in killing the enemy the standard was 30-06..."

The .30-06 was adopted when the ability to kill enemy cavalry mounts (i.e. horses) on the battlefield was a legitimate requirement.

I'm not taking anything away from the round or the weapons that fire it (IMHO, I think some type of BAR equivalent should be available at the squad level), but it's a little rough for a lot of female soldiers to shoot. That's just reality.

Maybe the problem in that calculation isn’t the caliber.
