Hello from Scotland~
With another gulf war around the corner ive been thinking of our poor guys sent out with the dreaded SA80 British bull pup service rifle in .223
Personally my advice would be shoot the first Iraqi you see and nick his AK47 ! Proven rifle and calibre, unlike the SA80.........
My interest in fire arms has alway been as a hunters tool but since joining a rifle club i've had great fun shooting .303's, Mausers,all sorts and kind of got a soft spot for bolt action militarys now.
Im assuming NATO switched to .223 from 7.62 due to reduced recoil being built in a lighter rifle lets face it most soliders are not gun buff's. Infact im sure i read somewere that a very "small" percentage of men in battle situation are responsible for the majority of enermy "kills."
MY QUESTION IS: if you had the responsiblity to decide on Nato's NEXT calibre.......What would it be and why ????
