Wonder if NATO is gonna adopt this caliber?
IMHO, it’s a stupid move, but everything about this admin is all about being “stupid” these days, especially when it comes to tax dollars and weaponry....
But, hey, there’s gotta be at least a gazillion 5.56/300BO cases out there....all for us, now.
But yeah....no American-centered manufacturers available? WTF? This sounds like a dark, smokey, backroom deal...they’re really good at that. /s
The purpose of the US going to 5.56 was to standardize NATO on a single rifle round.
The US taxpayer will probably foot the bill to re-equip all NATO forces with 6.8mm in the future.
