What do the 6.8, .45 GAP, and Sofia's virginity all have in common?
Nobody cares. 
Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics. 6.8 is a logistical nightmare looking for a place to happen. Speaking of which, whatever happened to the 10MM?

*Hijack alert*
Ah the FBI wonder bullet.
Our last Homicide (should be justified we will see what the jury says...I will share more when I can). The shooter used a Kimber 10mm 3 rnds C.O.M. with Federal Hydro Shoks dropped a 6-1 220lbs charging lunatic in his tracks. Good round IMHO great Ballistics.

It was neutered by gender benders and weaklings into the 10mm (-P) and it became a .40 S&W too long to fit into a medium frame pistol.
My 10mm launches a 135 gr, CorBon at an average 1586fps, chronoed by me.
Hard to find hot loads for it now, though.

I've spoken with a few people that have tried/tested the round. The ballistic profile of a 7.62 with the ease of shooting a 5.56....longer accurate range, quick on target after firing (less recoil than a .308) terninal ballistics that show both a larger permanent and temporary cavity with more associated soft tissue destruction.....this is the (+) to this round.
Take a look at the new 4.66 round by H&K. For a "pistol", it has a devistating ballistic profile but can be shouldered and used long distance (~200m....for a 'pistol')

If I can't beg, borrow, steal, take it off bodies or pick it up off the ground in the target country, I'm not carrying it. But then that's just me.

Exactly.
You also leave a very distinctive trail for those who do not want SOF running around in their backyard.
The Barrett 6.8s are the only ones I have fired, and they have not exactly run flawlessly.
No thanks, for now. Probably make a decent LE round, though.
