CT Ammo Update

[stanc]

200rds of 6.5mm CT will weigh what 100rds of linked 7.62 NATO M80 currently does, or less.

That's a huge significance for logistics at the micro and macro levels.

I'm only seeing positives, not negatives.

Well, you're exaggerating a bit, in that it's more like 160 rds of linked 6.5 CT vs 100 rds of linked 7.62 NATO, but yeah, for the 6.5 CT machine gun, it looks to be all good.

For the 6.5 CT carbine, not so much. Much heavier and a bit longer than the M4, with 20-rd magazines that are fatter than, and just as tall as, 30-rd 5.56 magazines.
