It also changes things in that the entire concept of our MTO&E gets turned on is head since you have a very lightweight system that can be used for everything a rifleman, SAW gunner, and DM do, as LSAT has select-fire capability. When the new KAC carbines were deadlined during the testing, the guys pulled the Leupold Mk.6 optics off them, and tried them on the LSAT using SEMI to engage targets out to 800m effectively.

As I understand it, there is a maximum practical length (which varies depending upon caliber) that a bullet can be made, without running into stability issues. For a 6.5mm "green" projectile, that length is reached at a weight of circa 110 grains. At least that's what I've been told by those more knowledgeable about the subject than I am.
