If we do have a two caliber system then it should be 6.5mm and .338 (8.59mm).
Did you ever come clean on your military background? I recall you and your boys were going toe to toe with the Taliban like it was cowboys and injuns.
Quote:One of the things I noticed was that while I was issued an M9 in Afghanistan, generally outside the wire we carried rifles. The M9 was for having a weapon on base (FOP). We also had a unit policy of dropping our weapons to slings then going to steel (knives for the most part) if we were over ran. Under 10 ft we risked shooting each other. So knives were better. One of our guys carried a Tomahawk and used it against the Tabliban. Sliced one insurgent from chest to stomach. Scared the crap out of the rest of them.
