Body armor at 600 meters? Seems like a made up requirement to force the weapon system upon us. Which in reality is like stepping back to the M14 in a shorter louder platform (without the suppressor). I would like to witness some full auto fire to see how controllable the new weapon is. Personally I think this is a fool thing to do, going to a high pressure non NATO round, dumping the intermediate rounds benefits for what exactly? 600 meter body armor penetration?
Full auto in the first few seconds here

That looks pretty easy to control and hits up close shouldn't be an issue. That ain't your dads M14 for sure.
Had he served - my dad would have been M16.... lol
My dad went from the M14 to the M16. I remember him taking me to the range when I was 10 or so and we shot the new wonder round sometime in the mid 60's. We also took one to a dock near the end of one of the runways of either Kadena or Naha AFB and shot at sharks that came to the surface after he tossed WWII era grenades into the water. I was sure you were older than I am.
Nope - my dad, had he enlisted would have been late 70's. Not even Vietnam, his older brother - maybe. We have a "tradition" of having kids young tho. Something my son has managed to break so far.
