Next, you are comparing two different classes of rifles, a 7.62 bodied rifle against a 5.56. That in itself is not the best way to look at it.
Finally, the thing about QP's on this site and in general is that it there is a great deal of "inside access" that they have in just about everything it seems, the ACR being just one area.

MOO - the real story probably should have been recorded in 15-6 proceedings. Though I do have to give kudos to manufacturers willing to take a risk to "give the Soldiers" what they think they want. Interesting times.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
