when i was in pukeastan --- m4s seemed some what limited in range . a m4 in 6.5G has double the effective range, and that just about goes for the rifle as well.
the biggest improvement though would not be in rifles and carbines, it would be in light machine guns imagine what a m249 SAW firing 6.5G with military spec ammo steel, core AP core and IAP--- and now you get the picture.
the problem is with the DOD changing ammo is vary far down the list -- barrels mags , bolts, all have to be changed. the 6.5 weighs more, so there is more logistics.
in the current climate of cutting back the military to pre-ww2 size i doubt the government is the least bit interested in rounds that can penetrate and kill ISIS better.
and besides look at the millions/billions of mags that would have to be replaced.--lol
