Seeing an AR with an AK "banana clip" mag makes my nipples hard.

That's the Knight's Armament AR 47; I had heard that they are no longer making this gun. In fact, the most recent development in the new service gun/round debate has it that the 6.8 mm Rem Spc (a .270 caliber cartridge that is chambered in a modified AR 15 upper)is a good bet to be the next military round. Its a totally new cartridge that is straight walled, a little fatter and a little shorter than the 5.56, with a 115 grain FMJ bullet. The ballistics are said to be superior to both the 5.56 and the 7.62 x 39 Russian. Barrett and Remington have been in the forefront of its development. There is scant info on the web, but a search of 6.8 mm Rem Spc turned up some on a gun forum. Some prototypes have been built using Mike Rock barrels. Also, J.D. Jones of SSK Industries in Ohio has been involved and has published some ballistic comparisons to the 5.56, the .300 Whisper and the 7.62 x 39.
