  19.  @SlavicCelery  Yup. You will not find a bigger 6.5 Grendel proponent than me, and there just isn’t much of a comparison between 6.8x51 NGSW and 6.5 Grendel. The velocity from a 13” NGSW smokes a 24” 6.5 Creedmoor, and is about where a 22”-24” .270 Winchester is pushing 135gr SMK. I know because I load the 135gr SMK in .270 Win and have gotten into the 2850fps region with H4831SC. 6.8x51 NGSW with the High Performance load is spitting a 135gr EPR at 2900fps from a 13” barrel. That’s screaming velocity. It will make a great little DM Carbine, suppressed, with the optic. Same for the M250 AR in 6.8x51, though the ammo load will get heavier/bulkier like a Mk.48 gunner. The M250 weighs a lot less than a SAW though. Experienced NCOs are going to love that thing. The XM7 is too much for most of the Infantry Rifle Platoon though. One way around the problem is to equip 3rd Squad with it, and keep 5.56 NATO in 1st and 2nd Squads. Make 3rd Squad the DM/Overwatch/Support Squad, who can act in reserve and plug-into the fight where they are best used for precision fires and fire support/overwatch. Let 1st and 2nd Squads do the maneuvering up front, with first bounds or flanks. 3rd Squad can also co-located with Weapons Squad for Support By Fire, be the Support and Security Elements in Deliberate Attacks, and undergo periodic Designated Marksman training with a formal MTO&E and ARTEP program. Start it in OSUT and the NCOPD courses so every Squad has DM-trained soldiers and NCOs no matter what. Everyone else gets M4A1s that are upgraded on the SOPMOD Block increment program. Many duty positions in the line need an even smaller, shorter weapon than the 14.5” M4, so there should be a lot of 11.5” guns in the Line Platoon and especially the Company and Battalion.

  30.  @robertromero8692  Have you ever shot on a USMC or NRA Hi Power range by chance? You realize that the targets are gigantic black bulls eyes, with pit monkeys who pull the targets down, then place discs where your shots impacted to give you visible feedback, then lift the targets back up so you can see the impacts. They don’t train on shooting moving targets with bolt action surplus rifles. It’s not a thing. The reports on what type of marksman he was are largely irrelevant, and have been invalidated by subsequent attempts to duplicate the shots. Here is what Craig Roberts said about Carlos Hathcock: "I’ve been asked this question of whether Carlos said this or not many times. I can assure you he did. He was a personal friend of mine, and when I was doing the research on Kill Zone I called him and asked what he thought about the “official” story of Oswald being the lone nut with a Carcano could do what the Warren Commission said.  He laughed and said that they tried to duplicate it at Quantico at the USMC Sniper Instructor School. He said they used a 6.5 Carcano with 4x scope (he didn’t mention if it was a cheap Hollywood Optics scope like what was mounted on the “Oswald” rifle.) But I’m sure they bore sighted it before trying to duplicate the feat of 3 shots in 5.6 seconds on a moving target in a high to low angle. He said after several tries they simply could not duplicate it on the conditions Oswald would have had. It takes time to fire a shot, work the bolt, get back on target and get the proper eye relief from the scope to fire the next shot. I didn’t record the phone call but I took notes. When I wrote that part of Kill Zone I sent it to him to make sure it was correct. He said it was.” In addition to this, LE SWAT Snipers who attended courses run by Hathcock said he used this as an exercise sometimes, and nobody could duplicate it with a Carcano.

  40.  @oxide9679  During Prohibition, pretty much every LE Agency, police department, city Council, Mayor, most Congressmen, Senators, etc. were corrupted by the Mob unless they lived in dry counties. None of that was cleaned up in the Depression, where police powers were largely expanded and abused.   America had a distraction from all of that in the 1940s with the War, where everyone was coerced or encouraged to participate collectively in the war effort, which meant any able-bodied young men went into the military or defense industry. That included untold Mafia enforcers who were then marketed to the War Department as counter-saboteurs to the Germans on East Coast Harbors. Lucky Luciano negotiated his way out of prison with that approach. America never dealt with the corruption of LE after the war, and was already in a compliance/do your part cultural paradigm coming out of the Great Depression and War, into the expanding boom of the 1950s. Mafia loved it because they built casinos, gambling halls, coin scams, strip clubs, night clubs etc. all over the Nation, while pimping whores and narcotics for even better profits than during Prohibition. LE played the game of crushing the little guys who didn’t have politicians paid off to protect their rackets and enjoy fringe benefits. For example, Jacob Rubenstein and his brother were Bureau of Narcotics informants. Jacob ran multiple night clubs in Dallas for the Mafia, while smuggling weapons and narcotics in the Caribbean and inside the US. You probably better know him as Jack Ruby.
