New Marine Corps weapon to replace SAW

These may very well be facts, but it doesn't mean they're worth the paper they were written. Their meaningless other than to demonstrate that disintegrating links can and will work on a short rifle cartridge.

LOL. Sure.

No one has ever claimed that the M27 link would work if you just took a pair of pliers to them.

And that's the kind of poor reading comprehension which took my statement that "it would be more difficult to design a viable link for 6.5 Grendel" and distorted it to mean "creating a link for 6.5 Grendel is impossible."

I distinctly said "[SIZE="5"]M27-type[/SIZE] link," not "M27 link."

Of course the links need to be designed specifically for the Grendel. You have 2 engineers here, one with extensive experience (JASmith), telling you that this is a straight forward simple engineering process.

Again, LOL. Does either of said engineers have any experience whatsoever in the design and development of metallic links, let alone the operation and functioning of machine guns?
