"...The M249 has a higher rate of fire than the M4A1 and is intentionally less accurate to provide greater fire dispersion on the battlefield. The M249 suffers from reliability issues..."

Why doesn't this surprise me?

...and that's he way we roll in the U.S.A. today...

Am I the only one wondering why the completely vaxxed compliant, woke military suddenly interested in lethal weapons for foot soldiers.
Surely it’s for foreign enemies.

Strange their going to the equivalent of the .270 Cal that was tested and approved of the 1930’s and stopped by MacArthur because we had millions of rounds of .30 cal ammo

Why is the Military allergic to the 6.5 CM? I know, high pressures and it can wear out a barrel. That is a concern for a hunting rifle, not a military spec barrel. If the 7.62 was more than good enough at distance, the 6.5 CM is even better.

Reach out and touch someone? 6.5CM will get it done.
