re: the cartridge

this weapon is to be fielded as an automatic weapon, probably at the squad level, and as an infantry weapon, capable of semi-auto fire (at the least.)

i've seen pictures of the proposed "hybrid" cartridge. as represented, how they are going to get this decidedly "unslick" & dumpy looking round to feed into an automatic weapon is way beyond me.

i don't think it can be done, without substantial changes in the shape of the round. and, if anything, such changes will reduce the internal case dimensions.

i just don't see how, in the real world, it offers any performance gain in the 6.8mm rem spc, as presently constituted.

gyrojet, anyone?
