New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[JASmith]

John,

Babaganoush is right, there is no 'one size fits all' solution, but I maintain that your description is one of the best arguments for a cartridge having the Grendel characteristics.

I also, agree that the Grendel in the mix for dismounted infantry would obviate the need for the 7.62 on those dismounted patrols.

The only flaw in the point of view is that indicated by LRRPF52, and that is the need for very light ammunition for patrols that do not have access to immediate ammunition resupply.

The conversation is going in a good direction in spite of the occasional tug in other directions.

Thanks for starting it!
