You’ve insisted over and over that this is a done deal... and it’s not.
Nothing is done until it happens.
All I’ve contended is that this deadline is too short, that it may not even pass muster or get approved.
Definitely not going to happen by 2021... with 2020 just a few short months away.
This is a pretty significant upgrade... not only from the 5.56, this aims to replace all that’s been tried. The energy they want isn’t possible from an M4 sized weapon, not without increasing weight and loosing ammunition capacity
