Grendel LMG

[stanc]

Since we're already pretty sure the Grendel doesn't quite get the needed energy density to punch the same plate as the .308, we should be surprised if it does any better against the Russian round.

Why test when one is reasonably sure the outcome isn't what you want?

To gain knowledge. Without testing, we do not actually know what the outcome will be. If nothing else, test data for the current bullet would give us a baseline to guide improvements.

One more time -- Inappropriate testing is likely to be harmful to keeping the momentum going.

Momentum? What momentum??? Momentum implies movement. How are we any further along than we were in 2005? Did some momentus development occur while I slept last night?
