Two things strike me about this: 1) the most important tool in the military, after the soldier, is being designed using analytics ala McNamara and the Whiz Kids in the 60's, not boots on the ground grunts. Interesting the MACV-SOG guys and LRRPS carried their weight in ammo. 2) the other thing that if this is the main battle weapon of our ground forces, then our arsenals are going to have to ramp up production bigly...and there's goes prices and components for civilians.
