Ma endiselt arvan, et tegu oleks äärmiselt rumala sammuga, sest ekvivalentse ehitusega 7.62 kuul ei paku mingeid märgatavaid eeliseid läbistavuses 5.56 ees, küll aga muudab sõduri koorma raskemaks ja kantava moona koguse väiksemaks. Ka antud artikkel viitab sellele.
Eks näeme, mis sellest projektist saab. Arvestades, et praegused sõdurid on niigi jõhkralt üle koormatud ja neile lisatakse järjest rohkem tehnikat ja kaalu juurde, siis mingil hetkel peab see trend vastu seina põrkuma.The primary justification for the ICSR program are improved ceramic body armors that are resistant to existing forms of small arms ammunition. The logic goes that the Army’s new 5.56mm M855A1 round cannot penetrate these new armors, and therefore the service must switch to a new round. However, this is misleading, as current 7.62mm M80A1 is incapable of penetrating these body armors either – and specialty tungsten cored ammunition in both 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers are capable of penetrating armor of this type. The US Army seems to be banking on its yet-undescribed XM1158 ADVAP round to bridge this gap – however Chief Milley himself admitted in testimony to Congress that the ADVAP’s design could be applied to either 7.62mm or 5.56mm ammunition.
EDIT:
Suurepärane näide selle kohta, millest ma räägin.
