Stupid nigger.
The first sentence says that lethality of present weapons cannot be improved by increasing "hitting power", so battle rifles are a bigger waste of time than regular assault rifles, forget all about poison bullets. If soldiers couldn't hit shit with assault rifles then they won't hit shit with battle rifles either, all while carrying heavier, hard recoiling guns with less ammo to boot.

Stupid nigger.
>despite not being able to even hit targets on a range at 300 yards, they were still making more than 1 in 5 of their kills in war at more than 300 yards without optics
Which means about 80% of kills they made were under 300 yards, which means that is the majority of engagements. Battle rifles didn't do so hot up close against VC with AKs now did it?

>what they recommended was:
>A G11 or duplex* 223 meme gun.
>Firing bullets filled with nerve toxins.
>On full auto at all ranges.
That sure as fuck don't sound like a battle rifle, not even close. The m16 won, keep seething.
