New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[stanc]

Joker, while you're here, would you be OK with troops armed only with 5.56 M4s, a belt-fed 5.56 LMG, and ABGLs? Would you miss the capability of 7.62N DMs and MMGs or would you be OK with ABGLs taking over the role of the MMG?

And finally, what are your thoughts on the same question but with 65G M4s and belt-fed LMGs, combined with ABGLs, all in the absence of 7.62N?

Forgive the intrusion, John, but since the maximum range of the ABGL is only ~700 meters, how can it reasonably be considered as a replacement for the MMG?
