Hm, that's interesting; last I heard they were looking for a 6.8mm replacement. But it sounds like they're going to adopt this 6mm ARC; according to gunsandammo.com Quoting: SocialEnigma 78654843 I heard the 25-06 designer decided on the diameter due to the bullets terminal performance over it's ballistic capabilities. What do you think of their .338 norma magnum replacement for the 7.62 nato? .300 Norma for anti-personnel .338 Norma for anti-material Both are in the Barrett MRAD. I agree with the .300 Norma completely. But they think the .338 Norma will replace the .50 BMG, and I strongly disagree. They better hang onto the Barrett .50 cals. and their Raufoss rounds. There is no replacing those with any .338 caliber. First I've heard they're looking to include the 300 norma. I thought the army decided against having more than a couple primary rounds for infantry to use. Some complaints are that the norma mags are so long and it would cause too much of a drop in ROF. So why not a 300 SAUM? You can keep the 7.62 bullets and retain more ROF as well as a boost in effective range. |

I guess the 6mmx45 or 6mm-223 wasnt enough Compare the ARC to the Valkyrie Would've been easier to produce a 6mm SPC???? We own you |

Very exciting. I bet this might be the new standard military round soon. Quoting: Vicious Deplorable dollop Beating the socks off the 5.56. Probably not. The army and USMC both recently completed reviews and chose 5.56 again even with the effectiveness of the 6.5 Creedmore fully understood. It isn't just about round effectiveness and lethality, there are many other factors involved. The battle load for the diminutive 5.56 is much higher than most rounds, it is cheaper, the barrel life for M16s is exceptional and the carry weight is very light. There are also benefits for wounding rather than outright killing a target. And of course, there is a massive supply chain already in place. |

What about the .300 AAC Blackout round? I thought that was going to be a "new standard" round. It's a hybrid between the AR and AK round, comes in subsonic and supersonic. Plus it's been around for a while and works on the AR-15 platform, just switch out uppers and you're ready to go... |

Reminds me of yesterday when I stopped in to get a smoothy & was waiting for it. Some hippy chick about her age came walking in wearing super short shorts, trendy sneakers and a cute t-shirt. But she was covered from head to toe in bug bites. I heard her tell the clerk that she was homeless and that her boyfriend had kicked her out. She knows now.

If the military decided they really wanted to go all in, they could order uppers to the M4 platform. All members know how to take down, so they'd be able to swap bcg and upper in matter of seconds. So, it really could work better than the 6.5 they were working on, that took a whole knew complete rifle. |
