From a grander sense, the tactics and scenarios being discussed are for the average conflict and engagement. What must be understood is that, regardless of the weapons deployed, the tactics employed and the logistics involved, there never be the perfect load out for every situation.If you're referring to me, I was not nitpicking, nor do I have an "opposing viewpoint," as I am open to the idea of 6.5 Grendel being a Unified Cartridge.
Having seen that, can we not stop nitpicking on every point, and see the bigger picture, here? It is well understood that there is an abundance of information available from which one may pick and choose to score points, but doing so does not invalidate the opposing viewpoint. Rather, it shows (at least to me) a narrow viewpoint, which does the writer no justice or this discussion any service.
I addressed two major (and one minor) issues of John's scenario, in order to show significant problems with it. This was not done "to score points" (Which I couldn't care less about doing...unless there is money involved.
), but rather to provide valid information relevant to the subject.I would ask how that does not help in seeing "the bigger picture"? (But, perhaps I should first also ask what you mean by that phrase?)
