Main remaining questions deal with how far out the average grunt needs to be able to hit and knock down a bad guy wearing projected standard body armor.

The limiting factor is always how far away can a Rifleman see an enemy. Am sure it will give a huge advantage at very long ranges over the 7.62 NATO cartridge though. Problem will be seeing the enemy.
I still contend that 300 meters is about it from ground level. After that, terrain and vegetation really play a factor.
