Might need to add this to the equation:

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army announced today the award of a 10-year firm-fixed-price follow-on production contract to Sig Sauer for the manufacture and delivery of two Next Generation Squad Weapon variations (the XM5 Rifle and the XM250 Automatic Rifle) and the 6.8 Common Cartridge Family of Ammunition.

The XM5 Rifle will replace the M4/M4A1 carbine within the close combat force, and the XM250 Automatic Rifle is the planned replacement for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon Both weapons provide significant capability improvements in accuracy, range and overall lethality.

So, now it's proven that the AR-15 isn't as lethal as Idiot Joe said it was.....these new weapons are far more lethal....

But, the 9 mm. will still blow a lung out....two lungs if shot twice.

I wondered if the switch to 6.8 had something to do with it.

with everything going on in the ammo market these last few years it just shows that we need more civilian sources of ammo.
