Testing the replacments..... 6.8 in?

The Army’s SAW and M4 replacement is headed to troops by 2022

The new weapons will bring the 6.8mm projectile into the U.S. military inventory for the first time.

The most interesting part of that is WHAT SORT OF AMMO THEY FIRE.
It's plastic cased. Proprietary. Definitely not NATO yet...
but that may be coming as the EU figures out that they can ban making 5.56/7.62 ammo,
and then only the reloaders will have ammo for their AR's & AK's...

Wait until you see the new pistol rounds planned...

And then all the sudden, regular ammo will dry up once the Democrats/Communists
are in control...POOF...no more brass cased ammo...some health regulation
along the lines of lead is bad or brass causes cancer/etc...

We've seen procurement "forcasts" (like Weather) many, many times before. Wait for the Fat Lady to sing before joining the March of the Lemmings. Lol

In other countries they are already producing two piece cases that can't be reloaded. Also poly bullets. Look at the novx line of ammo. South amercia uses it. I have some and it works

If you ain't reloading, ya oughta be..

Just off what Biden & Harris have said about their anti gun views
during the campaign, should have EVERY gun owner WOKE.

Odds ain't gonna get any better later.

I think it will be a big mistake...sorta like every outfit in Vietnam had AK's to back up or replace the M-16. A sole source of ammo in a major conflict with limited production and supply lines. Like The Saudies , a new rifle made for existing ammo in the 6.8...but then the only have 1 mag manufacturer without massive manufacturing and unless they have their own ammo plant they are screwed

By the time it's fully implemented it'll be ubiquitous...
kind of like how they replaced the 1911's with those pukefest M9's.
it'll be slow start...then it'll be the thing you are stuck with.
