New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[JASmith]

...In trying to sum up some stuff, and get this thread back on track, I would recommend everyone who wants to talk about the future small arms/individual weapons of the future; Consider what will be most applicable in a non-permissive urban environment with a lot of neutral civilians to hide the bad guys. Big calibers with the ability to over-penetrate a target may not be the answer.

Many thanks for an informed and well-described summary of the major potential conflict scenarios.
