Our military adopting the Grendel?

[Irishman]

fact is the 6.5 and 6.8 is being used in country for evaluation purposes, the special forces are the very people that came up with the 6.8 spc to replace the 5.56 as it is marginal at best, also it has been tweeked since vietnam we have gone from 55 to 77 gr bullets trying to find something that is a one shot stopper without it being a head shot, this is all because of the complaints from soldiers, one issue is the rounds used are ball and only punches small holes that closes up after passing thru unless it is a close range shot where the velosity is hypersonic to cause the round to fragment, and or give the shock effect on the internal organs, it is a great close quarters weapon, but not a great marksman weapon, the military is looking for both and thats why they are looking at the 6.5 and 6.8, the problem with a change during a war is logistics and politics but if they build it, it will come.
