5.56 should've been replaced with 6.8 SPC II years ago. The biggest weakness of the AR-15 is that it can't use anything that won't fit in a magwell originally designed for a literal squirrel cartridge. The new Sigger cartridge should've been reserved for the M240B replacement.

>I'm asking where the Bible says to pray to a deceased human for intercession?
Roman Catholics have their own talmud called the catechism AKA "sacred tradition" where they lawyered Christianity to justify copypasting Bible names over pagan religious figures and practices. Basically what happened is that after Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion and outlawed paganism, the Roman cult around the virgin hearth goddess Vesta got changed into a cult of reverence for the Virgin Mary (they even wrote fanfics about how Mary was born without sin, remained a lifelong virgin, never died, etc. to reinforce the cult despite being contrary to what the actual Bible says). The logic they use to justify the Marian cult and other hagiographic cults in a monotheistic religon is exactly what anon said: They're only "venerating" saints, not praying to them. As for your question about why they do this when the Bible doesn't say anything about praying to deceased humans for veneration, the Catholic answer is that A. the Virgin Mary never died (yes they actually believe this), and B. anyone who died in Christ is alive in heaven with Jesus. So despite being identical to pagan ancestor worship in appearance and practice, it's actually just the same as asking your living friend or family member to pray for you, according to Catholics. Now why bother doing this when it clearly contradicts what Christ Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:6 and what the Apostle Paul taught in 1 Timothy 2:5? The Catholic answer is that in Job 42:7-10, God told Job's wicked friends to make a sacrifice and ask Job to pray for them on their behalf, because Job was a righteous man. So from this short section of an Old Testament story, they extrapolate to justify the practice of "venerating" saints such as the Virgin Mary by saying they're actually asking the saint in heaven to pray to God on their behalf.
