it goes on to mention they were looking at it with SOCOM

But textron uses 6.5 and is pushing hard for it

SOCOM chose 6.5 Creedmoor to replace .308 as a marksman round

Hold on let me dig through the weeb gun channel

Army would probably put 6.5 CM in the M110 or whatever it is they're using to replace it now

We had the actual details

Rifle has been replaced

338

To get Creedmoor on your .308, all you have to do is replace the barrel

.338 Norma? I wish

It is the best of every world. Also one of the highest costs of adoption

Let's be real. If you tell the entire NATO armed forces to adopt a radically new round they're going to evacuate their bowels at the cost

Hell it's expensive even for just one country

Gotta meet 'em half-way. I have a hard time believing the Army will pick something that will require a completely new platform

@Rtr33zyUTAHA He made a mistake leaving the conservative party

But his people are following in his footsteps as well

Real latest article

wot

Someone kicked the program director's ass to pick something now

Yeah

Unless something new came out this week scraping that lol

My weeb gun channel is legit as shit

Possibly more right wing than most people here too lol

I'm not seeing SPC II

So what, it's a new round?

Yes

Well sorta

WTF? It's a round that doesn't exist

All it needs is a 6.8

Nothing else matters

Could be spc could be whatever vodoo textron is using

God damn even I didn't expect the Army to be this massively stupid.
Are we going to get 30 rounds in a STANAG? If not then the general in charge needs to be shot

Its really weird they would specify just the bullet

This leads me to believe that this is not a decision based on their testing of the rounds they were evaluating

But they are looking for ammo that weighs less

Potts was likely like "FUCK IT, I need something now, fuck the testing, I'm tired of being a Brigadier"

What they really need to look at is their archaic, ridiculous, nonsensical shaving policy which is not based in facts at all

BUT CS GAS

oh sorry
