7.5 5.56 rifles are hella dumb

Not really, from the bean counter perspective

🅱️istol🅱️aliber🅱️arbines are basically memes in current year

I thought 5.7 and the P90 where developed in response to domestic terrorism concerns when body armor became more available, hence the focus on not overpenatrating.

It was adapted

@fred_ditto no military worth anything uses a 7.5 inch 556 rifle

bean counter will just buy 300blk because anyone with that short of a gun usually isn't some grunt

The FN marketing department stirred up that worry basically lol

Not even incompetent police departments

You have guns that, from the trunnion back, have 100% parts interchangability with the standard infantry rifle

Or you could buy 5.5 MCXs

^

in 300

Because they got baited by nato to spend huge money on developing the p90

which is what they did

@Cataclysmo not for frontline use

lmao ok

So they had to try to sell them to recoup that momey

***front line use***

I mean, I can't be too mad at FN because the did make something cool out of it at least.

So like "bro the terrorists are gonna have money dude"

300m 300blk

And as benny said, the dudes that actually use short gats will just use an MCX or whatever else

in 300 blk

They can totally afford body armor

P90 is an amusing novelty

Literally to fill the same role that 5.7 and 4.6 chambered guns were designed for

and if you want parts compatibility, the MCX uppers work on AR lowers

they're already SF issue

Short ARs make sense but 7.5" seems like a meme unless its 9mm or suppressed.

Um... exactly

A good deal of them *are* suppressed

Ah.

not in 5.56

Yes, but the point still stands

Ur rarted

5.56 out of a barrel less than 10.5" is a funny joke

@fred_ditto no it doesnt

Also
>not for frontline use

lmao

If you can have your SOF, drivers, and frontline dudes all using the same ammo, with the same mags, even if the cartridge isn't optimal for all the uses, the ease of supply greatly outweighs that.
