[SIZE="3"]Just a dash of light-hearted humor, in this otherwise serious Discussion, if you will.
Reviewing the Replies to this Thread, as well as the two related Threads, Military Round Comparisons and Third Generation Battle Rifle, I'm reminded to a couple of cartoons I came across, recently (http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/i/..._gifts.asp): Image 1, "Innovate, or die," is relevant to most industries, today --- the Electronics Industry, an outstanding example, while Image 2, "Your proposal is bold and innovative, but we are a traditional corporation. I would prefer changes like the ones we've tried before," certainly is true, here, and in the gun industry, as a whole. And, I think the Objections, in the "Objections and Responses" Section, at the end of Tony Williams' comprehensive web article, The Case for a General-Purpose Rifle and Machine Gun Cartridge (GPC),, for the most part, represent yet another example of this "traditional" (read: brickwall) mindset.
