7.62x51 to 5.56 to 6.5 very amusing indeed................

7.62x51 to 5.56 to 6.5 very amusing indeed. The army in it's infinite wisdom is now climbing back up the bullet tree it climbed down from in the 50's and 60's.

Actually very surprising as females wish to join the "combat" ranks. The combat load is once again becoming "heavier", again.

Personally I'd have every other soldier assigned to the infantry carrying 7.62x51 for long range and 5.56 for the close in stuff. But that's not "uniform". Wouldn't look good in a parade, generals would hate that.....................
