Serbia adopting 6.5 Grendel as main military cartridge

[stanc]

Considering issuing 7.62 NATO rifles to "all personnel in a Brigade Combat Teams and perhaps beyond" is a telltale indicator that we're dealing with amateur hour yet again.

Clearly whoever wrote that is nowhere even familiar with the MTOE, and needs to find another profession and go away.

What morons sit around and think this garbage up?

Perhaps the kind who take PEO Soldier seriously?

“A Soldier must be able to engage the threat he’s faced with – whether it’s at eight meters or 800.”

As to the .260 Rem., those who know don't talk.

Uh huh. Is that like those who knew about 6.8 SPC didn't talk? Or those who knew about the SCAR didn't talk?

Please. Converting and testing .260 rifles and machine guns is hardly a top secret mission, and not all of the people involved would be tight-lipped, special operators. If I could learn about 6.8 SPC before it became known to the general public, why couldn't Guardsman26 -- a former infantry officer with numerous contacts in military and industry -- have learned about testing of .260 weapons?
