1. Finally, a caliber that will “answer the mail” over any combat distance And achieve penetration through heavy foliage, walls and light vehicles - and most types of body armor.
2. A weapon with a good gas piston design (instead of that stupid Stoner self - polluting gas tube/piston in the bolt. Ever tried firing full-auto with suppressor? You gas yourself so bad you can’t see anything.
3. I’ve hear all the indignation from the M16/M4 shooters about the “terrible recoil”. I carried a full auto M14 in combat: that weapon always worked, and killed reliably from point-blank to 600 m and beyond and was a sweetheart to handle.

Sounds like a real battle rifle is coming back! Only took them 55 years!

Word!

It's amazing the number of people crying over the replacement of a rifle and cartridge that only exists because of people who whined that a real rifle weighed too much and kicked them too hard. Essentially the pot smoking wimps of the '60's weren't half the men that their WWII era fathers were and demanded a puzzified rifle and round so their vaginas wouldn't hurt. A battle rifle exists to kill the enemy, not to avoid scuffing your nail polish. It's long past time we kicked the 5.56 to the curb and fielded a real rifle.
