I know a guy who defends his home with a Mosin

the guy who told me laughed

But I was like

"Well, if he hits you, you'll know it"

he couldn't argue

They are trying to replace 556 atm

yup

New round is 6.8

ETA 4 to 6 years

6.5 or .264 actually

Cartridge and weapon tbd

If you have a Mosin for home defense, you can put a bayonet through him before he crosses the street to your house

^latest article

@Tom - GET Official talk about PPC and Maxime Bernier

anyway I can't wait that long. It's time for me to move on to .308 for my 500+ engagements

Doesn't NATO require a universal round?

lol

Although the French 5.56 isn't the same as anyone else

fuck nato

I have like 5 Mosin but no way I'd use one for home defence

We chose 5.56 and NATO was such a bitch they were like "Fuck, the Americans chose 5.56, guess we're going 5.56 folks"

Army specified 6.8

Marines are just being marines

@Deleted User how about PPC?

If we chose 7mm Mauser NATO would too

because they're bitches

That article mentions creedmoor they arent even looking at specific cartridges atm

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
