It seems to me that after a few years of gaining pretty significant traction in the civilian sector, the 6.8 SPC doesn't stand a chance of being adopted by any military.Jordan reportedly plans to equip some of the Royal Guards with the 6.8 LWRC PSD, and acquired a license to make that model and a longer-barrel carbine version. Don't know why they'd want to go to the expense of setting up for local manufacture if they only wanted a few guns for VIP protection. OTOH, it's difficult to imagine them switching the entire military from 5.56 to 6.8 SPC. Time will tell.
