If you check the web page I linked you will see there is also a 16" and two 20" barrels that can be fit. With the 20" the performance will be identical to the good ole M16.

I am one of those people who always thought the .223 was kinda undersized. I read a recent article in one of the gun mags that went through all of the newer suggested replacement rounds and some of them looked interesting.

If we're going to get a new rifle now would be a good time to get a new cartridge to go with it.

I doubt that will happen if we still have these NATO types around the U.S. military who want all ammunition standardized. The 5.56 round does that. It won't be easy to change calibers with this round so firmly entrenched, however advisable it would be to do so.

I agree. 5.56 out of a ten inch barrel is a JOKE. If we're going to do this, at least do it in 6.8mm.
