New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[stanc]

Not if there was no need for that much firepower. Stan you're assuming that a change to 6.5mm and .338 weapons over the current 5.56, 7.62, .50 weapons currently in service wouldn't result in a change in tactics. I don't see how doesn't result in a change in tactics.

I don't see that whatever effect there might be on tactics is relevant to my question. When the platoon goes on an operation, won't the platoon's MMG teams be carrying their .338 machine guns?
