6.8 SPC or something else...?

Greetings All!
Just wanted to sound out everyones opinions on this. The military is complaing about the 5.56NATO round not being a good enough "stopper". The consensus in the gun press seems to be using the 6.8 SPC as a replacement. I'm thinking their might be better alternatives...? Like going to a better BULLET for the 5.56; maybe say a 60-75 grain ballistic tip or silvertip type. Or conversely trying a new cartridge. But I would say that we don't need to "invent" a new cartridge, a perfectly good one already exists: the 7.62x39 Soviet. Colt and others already manufacture the M-16 in this chambering. US ammo companies are already tooled up to produce it, it works just fine, and it would allow our troops to acquire ammunition from most if not all of the battlefields they can expect to fight on. Why not be able to use your opponents ammo if you run out? PUT SOME OPINIONS UP HERE FOLKS!
