Still_Small_Voice Posted April 24, 2018 Report Posted April 24, 2018 I also have been reading about the military and 5.56 x 45. They are not too happy with the round as they have found modern enemy body armor defeats it. I have disliked the 5.56 x 45 rifle round for quite some time. I felt it was a less effective rifle round and never wanted a firearm chambered in it. Right now the military is testing out a 6.5 millimeter round to replace the 5.56. It's too bad the military does not take a more serious look at the 6.5 x 39 Grendel round. It is a very effective rifle round that feeds from an AR-15 receiver with a change of the rifle upper parts. It has an effective range of longer than 450 meters. Quote
