And if you go 7mm then the British .280 comes back as a legacy issue.

Our big gun is the Rheinmetall Rh-120 on M1 tanks and Sig won our sidearm contract. I think we should select the new Mercedes G-Wagon to replace all Humvees.

They are so close as to be indistinguishable.
You don’t have to create a new round every time you make a new rifle.

It only took the Brass-hat paper shufflers almost four decades to figure out what every Nam-era Ground-pounder knew after the 1st patrol . High-powdered B.B. guns don’t kill . One more time around the circle .
