Quote:One of the caliber of the entire platoon
The Army of Serbia, as it reminds us, the infantry units on the level of water (up to 40 people) is used calibers 7.62 and 5.56 h 39 h 45 mm automatic rifles, 7.62 to 54 millimeters of machine guns and machine guns, and 7 , 9 to 57 millimeters for sniper rifles.
New solutions, creating a caliber for the entire infantry platoon, which greatly facilitates the logistics and maintenance of weapons.
Okay, I'm going to take a stab at refining the Google translation above:
Quote:One caliber for the infantry platoon
In the Army of Serbia, infantry platoons (up to 40 people) use four calibers: 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 assault rifles, 7.62x54R machine guns, and 7.9x57 sniper rifles.
Having a single caliber for the entire infantry platoon greatly simplifies logistics and maintenance of weapons.
So, it looks like the Serbian Army is implementing the "general purpose cartridge" concept that has been advocated by a number of people, and 6.5 Grendel is going to be the first GPC in military service.
