So let's see if I've got this right:

- the round' OAL is longer, and longer enough so the existing mag's can't be used. New ammo, new rifle, new mag's

- the new mag's must be wider to accommodate the longer OAL, which means the existing body mag carriers won't work? So new mag carriers.

- not sure from pics if those are 20, 25, or 30 round mags. If they're not 30 rounders, then will troops be packing more mags to match current basic load, or will the basic load now shrink?

- if basic load shrinks, then absolutely basic combat tactics have to adjust wrt finding, fixing (suppressing), and destroying.

This will be interesting to watch...


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
