^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

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
