the army is finally under pressure to review the weak and anemic 5.56 round and I hope we can work together and get them the 6.8 SPC which I believe is the best weapon for the job at hand.
what I need is a list of who to call
a nicely composed letter we can email to our congressmen showing in brief the failures of M4 and the 5.56
including the benefits of getting them to switch to the 6.8 SPC
a list of phone numbers and email addresses to send this information to
and last but not least the connection between the Pentagon and the retired general that is running colt industries and how that cronyism is hurting our soldiers but staying with the same old weak M4 M.
The Army has started reviewing soldiers’ complaints that their M855 ammunition was not powerful enough in their battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. General George W. Casey Jr., the Army Chief of Staff, said that it would be premature to state whether Pentagon would make a change.
The press interviewed some current soldiers and some ex-soldiers. Some had said that M855 ammunition was insufficient for close-in fighting. Such battles usually happened in the cities and towns of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The M855 ammunition was designed many years ago. Its initial requirement was to puncture the steel helmets of Soviet soldiers from a few hundred yards away. Some soldiers gave the feedback that they were insufficient to stop an enemy immediately at close quarters.
