I'm guessing that this will make for some happy Marines.Freedom is NEVER Free. We have to work to protect it and even be willing to die to protect it.

Interesting. The Army did a lot of terminal ballistics testing recently and found that the 55grn. non-boat tail round out of a long barrel was far more damaging to the human body than green tips out of the M-4 barrel. (I.e. fast and tumble is more damaging to the human body than heavy and flat in flight because it dumps all of it's energy into the target through tumbling; creating a lager cavitation wound and shredding the bullet mostly inside the target) I wonder if this is a case of the two services switching doctrines with reguard to the 5.56 round in the future.

I don't know. We'll have to see what they do with it. You can bet that they've looked at this in depth.
