New Marine Corps weapon to replace SAW

[cory]

Reading comprehension. I NEVER said the Grendel is incompatible with links. I said that designing a link for it would not be as simple as for 6.8 SPC.

The dimensional differences between the M27 link design, the M249 feed pawls, M249 feed tray cartridge stop, and the 6.5 Grendel case dimensions are not speculation; they are measureable, and clearly not conducive to a simple change in link loop diameter, as was done with the 6.8 SPC.


Actually, the line that should not be crossed in the engineering and scientific world is to say, "Even though there is no evidence that it's true, I want it to be true, therefore it is true."

No this is what's called engineering judgement. This ability is primarily what we get paid for.

You almost made me shoot coffee out my nose with this "I never." On multiple occasions you've taken the hard line stance that "it hasn't been done, so until it has been done my stance is that it can't be done."
