casseles ~6.5mm with power of charge simmiliar to ~5.56

Not to nitpick, but as REMOV would say; 'Some of those calibers are battle rifle calibers'... :P

I think its to little for asault, but for pdw type guns and rear its enough

I know, IMHO that gun with this ammo still hasn't enough power/range for large part of the job...

That's why they gave it the superquick superduper überburst. ;)

Muzzle velocity is at 930 m/sec... thats 200m/sec more than the MP7 and the Bullet weight is also doubled.

Yes and No :) Round was designed for far smaller ranges than normal soldiers happens to engage targets(iraq,a-stan), maybe if that gun could be coupled with HE 25mm like in OICW, more power wouldn't be necesairly necessary...

Mayby first on the left - British .280 (7x43mm)...but I think that NATO will keep 5.56x45 ( mayby with plastic shell ), and only for some missions soldiers will be equip with diffrent ammo for example with 6.8x43...
