>US Military puts out request for a rifle/caliber to defeat modern body armors
>People don't seem to like the one they selected
The US could have had such a rifle 70 years ago. It's not too late

>licensed design

Small arms are emotional support devices for anyone but narrow units of special forces. They do not matter 99% of the time. We could have invaded Iraq with 1911s.

>>64227118 (OP)
Anybody heard any news about the incoming H&R repro? It’s been radio silence for like a year.

>worse than M14
no ty :)

>worse than M14
According to Springfield Armory and their shills, who in no way had an interest in making sure their rifle won.

>>64227146
This take is absolutely retarded. US forces had to do fuck ton of long, grinding house to house fighting in Baghdad and Fallujah mostly with M16s. See how they'd react if you told them they were only getting 1911s to do all of it and you're taking away their M16s

>>64227178
Ramadi as well. The outcome would have been very different with 7 round 1911s going against AKs and PKMs and RPDs PPSHs etc.

Why they dont just use the og stoner ar10 in .308?????

>>64227118 (OP)
I want to live in the timeline where the US adopted .276 Pedersen in the 1930s and never used anything else.

>>64227189
Because .308 hurts the average brownoid's (=army recruit) shoulder too much

>>64227291
it's "Ay caramba!" SSL tard

>>64227316
It's a meme Faggotard.

OP needs to be executed by drone strike. That or deported by ICE

>>64227287
or optimized 6mm lee navy

>>64227178
They'd complain exactly the same amount as they already did and just use more grenades and MAAWS.

>>64227287
i want to live in the timeline where the US never changed from 30-06 and .45acp

>>64227353
I want to live in the timeline where the US never changed from .45-70 and .45 LC.

>>64227118 (OP)
Just use a 16 inch barrel AR

>>64227358
Extraordinarily based.

>>64227310
i thought the average us soldier is 1m85 and was 100 kgs... :(

>defeat modern body armor

Not gonna happen without a rifle entirely impractical for most usage.

>>64227118 (OP)
The U.S. had one in WWI. .30-06 can't be stopped, especially with modern bullet design.

>>64227118 (OP)
Fuck off.

>>64227539
Level IV plates are literally designed to stop .30-06 M2AP. Bro.

>>64227146
This is a huge oversimplification. Better equipment, including small arms, won’t win wars on their own but they are a force multiplier

>>64227146
Kind of this. The job of the rifleman is to carry the bullets of the machine gunner. Simple as.

>>64228281
But who uses them?

>>64228302
I rest my case.

Not a fan

>>64227362
This but make it picrel and add a prism

>>64228309
implessive!

>>64228434
Just use this
