I was really surprised to see the armed forces considering a new cartridge to replace their beloved 5.56......
As much as I would love to see the gopher round replaced, they aren't even considering it in reality. The only thing they are doing is considering it for urban warfare for special forces. Thus the SPC name...Special Purpose Cartridge. The normal grunt will never see it. I never saw anything wrong with the 7.62 NATO. If they wanted smaller then the 243 Win would work better than teh 223.
