Probably the best one. Pay close attention to post 23, i believe.
Thanks man,good stuff in there,pretty much answers my question.
It seems to me that the Army is letting emotion dictate what ammunition to issue our troops,i.e. it HAS to be an "Army" made round,instead of looking for something that works,isn't expensive,and for pete's sake isn't "green"! Since when did treehuggers command the Army? To my inexperienced eye moving away from a carbine length M4 to a 16-18" midlength setup would fix a lot of the terminal performance issues with current ammo,as well as reducing wear and tear on the rifle itself,mk318 seems to be an excellent choice for general issue,burn up the m855 with SAW's. I'd like to see a face off of 70 gr brown tip and mk318 through various barriers.
Technically M855A1 is not even an "Army made round", since they stole the design: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....-M855a1-bullet. Big Army certainly exhibits a lot of stupidity around small arms procurement and training...
Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
I think if they left M855 and tracer for the belt feds, and MK318, some tracer and AP for the carbines, and maybe a match round for the DMRs, we could have saved MILLIONS of dollars and been way better off than we are now.
