Sometimes a lesson is learned by a harsh experience. Other times a lesson can be learned through example.

It's a job yeah, but it's a job I would like to have.

Don't forget that if he did ###### off a lot of officers in high positions, would they have decided to prosecute him on the only factor they could find. I mean if the grenade story is true, although it may not be the biggest crime in the world, compared to what other crimes happen, could they have not decided that if this was the way they could get their own back on him by setting him up and dragging a skeleton out of the closet, could that be it?.

During the browsing the U.S Army home page I found a link (link below) to an article about the development of the OICW. http://www4.army.mil/ocpa/read.php?story_id_key=5169 In the article it states that the U.S Army's Testing And Evaluation Command has ordered 200 XM8 rifles for advanced testing as part of a reorganisation into the R and D of the OICW. The XM8 is a further development of the kinetic energy weapon technology used in the OICW for use in a lightweight assault rifle, and if testing is successful, it could mean that the OICW system could be released earlier than expected in

The idea behind the post was that the 7.62mm round would stop a man with the same or hopefully fewer rounds than the 5.56mm in BOTH CQC and medium to long range combat. Yes it will go through a target at close range but it will drop the target on the ground with hopefully as few rounds as possible which is the main factor in a combat situation and the conservation of ammo. I'd rather use two 7.62mm rounds and drop the target permanently than fire 4 5.56mm rounds at the target, then having him get up again and return fire as what did happen in the firefight at Mogadishu in 1993. I also agre

In addition to the question of lethality of the 5.56mm cartridge, if you read Mark Bowden's book 'Black Hawk Down', there is a passage when one of the Delta Force shooters, (I forget which one) fire 4 rounds of a 5.56mm Tungsten round at one of the militia, who gets back up again and starts firing. His buddy who is carrying a M14 rifle fires one (that's ONE) 7.62x51 round at another Somali who falls down on the ground DEAD and this is in close quarters!. 7.62mm will always beat 5.56mm in combat situations, whether CQC or long-range, although a lot of armies don't seem to realise this. The B

In addition to comparisons with the FN Herstal P90, a few units that use the P90 have stated that if the weapon or magazine is dropped from a medium height, then the magazine will not feed the rounds properly, therefore disabling the weapon This maybe hearsay, but who knows.
