@Aaron Muller What is going to happen is that its going be M-16A5 with a new caliber. The M-16 design has proven to be very effective. The only real problem is that its not ambidextrous. As for dealing with threats at 1000 -1200 plus yards away. Designated marksmen with a semi auto 338 would be the best. Obviously Big 50 is too heavy for DMR to use. a 338 semi auto would be light enough for a DMR to keep pace. The argument back in the day was the weight of the 7.62 and the weapons that use it. Today you have the HK 417, FN SCAR and ARX100. More to the point, there are enough weapon companies in the world that make a rifle to make that can easily outclass a 5.56 Technology has advanced there 7.62 need to return as the primary caliber. 5.56 can be remain for CQB. 7.62 , 338 and 50 should be what the infantry should have on tap. The Army had the XM25 CDTE. That weapon right there with improvements would easily dealt with the PKM at 1200 but instead of fixing, they walked away typically Army
