Army still wants the 6.5 Grendel and still doesn't know it.
They want a compact, semi-auto sniper rifle. And, further, I quote: "However, advances in warfighting technology have promoted the need for increased sniping capabilities to counter constantly changing threats particularly in urban environments and at extended ranges."
Hmmm. . . Now who does THAT sound like?
High sectional density for urban penetration? Check.
High BC for extended ranges? Check.
Lightweight? Semi-auto? Need I say more?
It boggles my mind that the biggest no-brainer in the history of small arms is staring them in the face. Instead, "Let's extend the range by increasing weapon bulk and weight and by increasing ammunition blast and recoil."
