As soon as any half decent NCO or even a smart *** PFC sees the size of the cases, they're going to laugh and say, "No."
The industry still hasn't proven that they can make weight, let alone incorporate the Integrated Optics/LRF for the Squad Fire Control Optic.
That is what is bothering me. Lots of articles but no details. Lots of history.
Sounds as if they are still working on what the cartridge will be. My guess is 6.8x45
