Why would I carry a signature round that states definitively that I have been on the objective? Why would I carry a weapon that I cannot get resupplied with ammo for, but from one source. As been stated, we have too many weapons using this round and Special Ops does not need a signature round that just complicates everything.
I have heard all sorts of stories about the 5.56 round not dropping someone, my experience is that it does right readily drop someone. Hell, I have seen some guys hit with 45s and not drop, does this make the 45 round a wimp round? Some guys just have a high tolerance to body trauma and this makes great anecdotal stories, but proves jack. These stories have been around since the late 60s claiming the 5.56 round is a wimp round. I call BS.
You have some people that have invested a lot of money in a round that was predicted to take the world by storm, it did not. Now they must make something off their investment and stirring the pot is the only thing they have.
My 2 cents again.
