US Army Considers Adopting an Interim Battle Rifle in 7.62NATO: eventually adopt 6.5

[LRRPF52]

Guys:

Something isn't right about that article. Who ever wrote it doesn't quote anyone or cite anything coming from the Infantry School or anywhere else in DoD. That ought to be an indicator. Fake news.

My exact response as well. Soldier Systems is run by someone who knows 2 things about dismounted infantry reality and weapons mix:

Jack and squat

"According to multiple sources...."

Reminds me of when Defense Review said the USMC has decided to adopt Arsenal milled receiver AKs in the middle of OIF because of reliability issues with the M16A4.

Or the time where Defense Review said the USMC just adopted the .45 GAP Glock pistols to replace M9s.

This article is total BS, concocted by someone with barely enough information to make a mess.
