I find it odd that a review of the S&W web site shows nothing on this, including ZERO press releases.Hah. Kidding. It's legit.

Hah. Kidding. It's legit. But at the same time, what's the point? Sure, 5.45x39mm is cheap NOW, but there are no domestic manufacturers, the round itself holds little over the head of 5.56 NATO, and the ammo pool is finite at this point. Also, the rifle is going to cost more than the AK-74 imports that we're getting now.
Define "sorta". Sorta as in, "it's good milsurp, but no Swiss GP-11" or "it can hit the side of barn- hits more often when fired from inside"?Yes, yes, and sorta.
I have two spam cans of WASP that I have not yet opened (I have too much Wolf to shoot, too). Does anyone know if:
1. This stuff is corosive? (I suspect "yes")
2. This stuff has the air-pocket, steel-penetrator bullet?
3. It is decently accurate, on average?
I've heard of this. Supposedly you can use normal .223 mags if you change the follower.
