"The issue hinges on the Army’s insistence that the competitors be judged on the service’s new M855A1 5.56 round, dubbed the “green round” since it does not contain lead."

I can't believe this dog shit. We are being destroyed from within.

While perhaps born of bad motivations, the “green round” seems to have better performance than its predecessor: http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/testing-army-m855a1-standard-ball-cartridge
Not everything “green” is bad just because it’s “green”.

Tell me how it does out of an 11.5” barrel, and I might just buy a few cases. [goes off to review “armor piercing” laws to see if it’s even legal to buy]

You need to click that link and read the test results.

It's a FAR SUPERIOR round than any 5.56 ever produced.
