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

    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...
