No, the 6.5 G could be adopted as a universal infantry cartridge but it's a big gap between 6.5x39 & .338 Lapua or .50 BMG. The 300 BLK is a great round, but one in my mind primarily suited for close range heavy subsonic loadings being run through a suppressor. I am looking for something...
After a long break I am back once more to delve into technical matters with the help of fellow THR members.
In the scenario that the 6.5x39 is adopted as the main service cartridge it is my thinking that the 7.62x51 would be made unnecessary. The 6.5 Grendel has comparable levels of energy...

@Watson & Guyvel
The economy relation West-China is nowhere near as stark or alarming as panicky media portray it to be. They make our stuff. They have money invested into our stock market, currency etc. IT CUTS BOTH WAYS! Except it's worse for them. If needs be we could go to India or...
@ Dr. Rob
Sorry for my absence,
Whilst tragic occurrences and the current lack of political support or even presence of a vocal pro-gun community limit the British public in times of peace we have formidable stock piles of weaponry, old service equipment and confiscated, ready to be handed...
Armour Piercing Fragmentation Round! AP-Frag!
Tungsten or similar tip with a frangible case behind it. Penetrates the target and fragments the case once inside a soft medium.
Might include sabots, seems well suited to a burst fire assault rifle somehow. How does one go about solving the dilemma as it seems to me:
High Penetration against Armour = Poor Terminal Effects, Less Energy Dump, Through and Through
High Terminal Effectiveness against the body = Poor Armour...
I think that is falling into the trap of preparing for the last war. Whilst not wishing to disrespect those fighting/have fought/casualties in the current Middle Eastern conflicts we are not fighting desperately for survival against an invading force of similar strength. War with nations with...
I'm pretty sure you rejected the Lee-Metford.
I made a mistake in thinking the M1917 Enfield Pattern was heavily based on the SMLE which, in fact, it was not.
One thing I'm confused about, which given your username is possibly an area of interest, is how Americans can possibly support the .45...
Thank you, Red Storm Rising is a great book. Initally however, and it is indeed designed to be a series it is China against the UK with an anxious world looking on. Current advances will be included but not taken to extremes. An intended effect is the contrast between guerilla fighting...
"Sentry Guns" a la Call of Duty will be included but will most likely be remote controlled XM806's as opposed to Automated Miniguns.
For the Civil Resistance 12 Gauges will be used, with a great variety of loads, from the most modern flechette and slugs to broken glass and metal ball bearings...
I think you'll find we do want it. The UK are instrumental in the total embargo placed by the West on China. This crippled Chinas' economy and turned some parts into a North Korea look alike. The Communist regime know their time at the helm is limited unless they have a) an entity other than the...
New factories in both Eastern Europe and the North of England & Scotland lend the UK & Europe significantly more production power to compensate for the complete embargo, I.e siege on China.
Yep the UK is privileged enough to be the only country that may ever see blueprints, exact specs etc. of the F-22, B-2 etc. Cuts both ways I suppose, we allowed you to manufacture a weapon based on the Lee-Enfield, the worlds deadliest weapons platform!
