>US Military puts out request for a rifle/caliber to defeat modern body armors>People don't seem to like the one they selectedThe US could have had such a rifle 70 years ago. It's not too late
>licensed design*Ordnance Departmentards blocks your path*
>>64227118Small arms are emotional support devices for anyone but narrow units of special forces. They do not matter 99% of the time. We could have invaded Iraq with 1911s.
>>64227118Anybody heard any news about the incoming H&R repro? It’s been radio silence for like a year.
>worse than M14no ty :)
>>64227154>worse than M14According to Springfield Armory and their shills, who in no way had an interest in making sure their rifle won.
>>64227146This take is absolutely retarded. US forces had to do fuck ton of long, grinding house to house fighting in Baghdad and Fallujah mostly with M16s. See how they'd react if you told them they were only getting 1911s to do all of it and you're taking away their M16s
>>64227178Ramadi as well. The outcome would have been very different with 7 round 1911s going against AKs and PKMs and RPDs PPSHs etc.
>>64227118Why they dont just use the og stoner ar10 in .308?????
>>64227118I want to live in the timeline where the US adopted .276 Pedersen in the 1930s and never used anything else.
>>64227189Because .308 hurts the average brownoid's (=army recruit) shoulder too much
>>64227291it's "Ay caramba!" SSL tard
>>64227316It's a meme Faggotard. OP needs to be executed by drone strike. That or deported by ICE
>>64227287or optimized 6mm lee navy
>>64227178They'd complain exactly the same amount as they already did and just use more grenades and MAAWS.
>>64227287i want to live in the timeline where the US never changed from 30-06 and .45acp
>>64227353I want to live in the timeline where the US never changed from .45-70 and .45 LC.
>>64227118Just use a 16 inch barrel AR
>>64227358Extraordinarily based.
>>64227310i thought the average us soldier is 1m85 and was 100 kgs... :(
>>64227118>defeat modern body armorNot gonna happen without a rifle entirely impractical for most usage.
>>64227118The U.S. had one in WWI. .30-06 can't be stopped, especially with modern bullet design.
>>64227118Fuck off.
>>64227539Level IV plates are literally designed to stop .30-06 M2AP. Bro.
>>64227146This is a huge oversimplification. Better equipment, including small arms, won’t win wars on their own but they are a force multiplier
>>64227146Kind of this. The job of the rifleman is to carry the bullets of the machine gunner. Simple as.
>>64228281But who uses them?
>>64228302I rest my case.
Not a fan
>>64227362This but make it picrel and add a prism
>>64228309implessive!
>>64228434Just use this
