Polymer ammo.... what can go wrong.

They use 54R we use .51 (308).........

Didn't we see this movie before? 30-06 to .308......then to .556? Cause of the weight issues of the M14 and ammo of .308....

then growing pains of a new platform now its pretty solid and we want to change it?

I say they just pick something that they can re-barrel existing stuff and test it.(be nice to see a good intermediate cartridge) Something that keeps it below the AR10 weight.

All these articles are click bait until something actually happens.

But pretty sure if we go urban or jungle in the next "war" the soldiers won't want a 10-11 pound gun again.....yea if your in the desert shooting 1000m+ a lot, they want something that can reach....

I second this motion in it's entirety.

When a nation is trying to get a little greener plastic ammo doesn't seem to support this movement however, I guess they feel if it's confined to overseas countries it doesn't concern us.
