found it interesting that the military is going to this round as an answer to the ak-47. seems the 223 wasn't enough gun to kill the terrorist right now so they can't set off eed's. the 6.8 is going thru car doors and still killing the enemy. ;D

The M16 5.56 (223) replaced the M14 7.62nato (308 win.) for more firepower , the soldier could carry more ammo with less weight , the M16 also had larger clips (firepower in jungle combat) my opinion they should have never replaced the M14 and now instead of the 6.8 should go back to the 14.. JMO

GUESS they found out the rag-heads don't worry about their wounded anyway-wasn't that one of the concepts, wound one and take anyother out of the fight tending them...your right, should have just kept the ole' .308, one hit and their done, no need to worry about return fire...I'd imagine the new 6.8 which is a .270 caliber would be better than the .223 in the killing department... the old 06' was a one shot stopper also.. NICE to see we finally figured out after 5 years it's not enough in urban combat..
