To expand on the dense metal comment -- I am reasonably confident we can obtain Level III body armor defeat within the general class of cartridge we contemplate. We can also anticipate the need to defeat Level IV body armor. This is likely to mandate the use of dense metals or moving to significantly larger (even larger than the 7.62X51) cartridges.
That's the reason for thinking of dense metal as a "growth" option. I don't know, nor do we need to care today whether the future Level IV defeat round is called GP or AP.
