***The article is claiming the round is not strong enough. Something people told McNamara about the M-16 ***
If they returned to the 1 in 14 rifling twist, instead of the 1 in 7 twist mandated by European faint hearts, and kept it out of cold environments it would probably kill them deader than Dixie.
14 inch twist is ok for light bullets. If they plan to use 150 to 168, they need ten inch twist for .30 cal....And we are talking .30 cal. 7.62 x 51 Nato round.
My little Win 92 lever action rifle in .357 is impressive at short range . . . . and I could carry THOUSANDS of rounds of that stuff and have a sidearm too. That is a light and handy little item, and I built a speed loader for it (for cowboy action) that means I can get ten rounds back in it in a hurry. It’s probably as fast as a plunger type speed loader in a revolver, plus I get 10 rounds instead of 6.
