Attacks Cause Defenders to Dig In

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.

If you tell me I have to teach snuffy to engage at 450 meters I'm quitting.
