Having dealt with military weapon contracts, particularly the M16A3 and M16A4, you can absolutely throw logic out the window. The system is set up to be self propagating, and civilians have no chance of understanding how a real rifle or cartridge works. The system has been operating the same way for almost 200 years, and to a great degree the same testing is done that was done then. There is no real understanding about the precision that CNC equipment has brought to the manufacturing process, and the significant sums of money that civilians have invested to design and build the "perfect" rifle and/or cartridge.
Weapon systems are still made to blueprints, and the blueprints are on a 5-7 year update with little or no change made based upon new technology or availability of materials. Incredibly frustrating to deal with!
