SAW 6.8

Not torture porn!

Where 6.8 might really shine is in the LMG role.

Here many of its down sides against 5.56 are upsides against 7.62.

And the Army really needs a new SAW.  The M249 is just not very good.  The M240 is just too damn cumbersome.

An excellent SAW in 6.8 could entirely offset the warts that changing over the rifle exposes.  You really want your SAW and rifle to be chambered for the same round.

There's no data because I can't just go out and make a machinegun on my own to be a hobbyist with.
