Quote: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."Again you're in error. My usual stance is, "if it hasn't been done, and there's no evidence that it can be done, I'll remain skeptical until it actually is done."
In this particular case, viable disintegrating links for the 6.5 Grendel round are only an imagined possibility, not a demonstrated reality.
OTOH, everything currently exists that would be needed to build a Grendel IAR, as per the post by dwalters66.
