Why was the Nato standard the 7.62x51? And after that, why was the Nato standard the 5.56? Usually in the real world the dog wags the tail and not the reverse. I see no reason to wait for Nato to do a darn thing.
We should just switch to what we deem to be the best option for us and be done with it. In this particular climate however, costs will be the deciding factor. It will not always be so.
