```Why is the Army going back to submachine guns? The service has made clear that it is looking to adopt a new round, possibly the 6.8-millimeter, round for its Next Generation Squad Automatic Weapon and next generation carbine. While the M4A1 carbine with its 5.56-millimeter round is small and light enough to equip vehicle crews and rear area troops, a 6.8 weapon could be heavier and bulkier, making it difficult to store in a truck cab. A 6.8 weapon would probably have more recoil, and rear area troops get less range time than their frontline counterparts.

A 9-millimeter submachine gun that was easy to carry, had less recoil, and could be used in self-defense would be desirable for troops infrequently exposed to combat. Nine millimeter also means the SCW would use the same ammunition as the new M17 Modular Handgun System.```

well then, if the handgun takes the same ammo it makes a bit more sense..

what

what's so complicated

Was just under the impression that they were trending away from 9mm in general, but now I see most of the in-service SMGs, despite getting a little old by now, are nearly all 9mm models except for the more modern MP7

9mm is a great round especially with modern bullet technology

also, 9mm +P exists

Everyone loves the P

9mm is largely fine

It's small enough to carry a decent amount in and outside magazines without being a serious burden, while being reasonably lethal. There's better rounds, sure, but 9mm is omnipresent and functional.

I made an oopsie and accidentally bought a 92fs INOX

That's quite a oopsie

```I think it's someone wanting to make a few bucks off of military testing so they're going to run a multi million dollar program to find 'the right smg' only to shitcan the whole deal 3 years later in favor of a current system```
