ok, so about three years back i was working on a rifle design for the war in iraq. basically it was an accurised m16 that would either use 6.5mm, 6.8mm or 5.56mm. i know how the 5.56 functions, but not the other two.
basically the idea was that the modern day threat to america is mostly terorism and terorists dont wear body armour. as a result you can use a rifle out to further ranges and still kill em.
unfortunately the army seemed to have the same idea as me and came out with the samr which uses 5.56 probly for convenience and price.
but i am still curious as to how the 6.5's and 6.8's function.
from what i here the 6.5's are a lot etter than the 6.8's in almost every way.
so does anyone know anything about them?
please let me know, thanks.
