Apples Oranges Watermelons

The "why don't we dump 5.56 and replace it with 6.8" debate is raging (again) at Arfcom.

I have a whole diatribe about why we should and why we don't (and shouldn't) make such a change.

I might even post it soon, but for now...

Tam is correct.  Arfcom is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

The logic of why we should keep 5.56 is roughly:

Apples are round.  Oranges are round.  Apples are red, therefore; watermelon.

Can't refute that logic!

    The multiple billions cost of switching is one good reason not to change.
    And pumpkins are orange, but not oranges.

    Oh, there are a myriad of reasons to not change over to 6.8 that are perfectly rational. They've even been stated in the thread. Along with so much chest thumping "I'm right because INFANTRY!" that it's not even worth posting.

    I found the post. I guess I am not an average AR owner. One 6.8 has 1500 rounds through it alone. Reloading for the win!

    I keep 5.56 AR's around because, commonality. I like the 6.8 (and 300 BLK) because I get to roll my own and be a weirdo.
