Are your friends in Iraq or Afghanistan? I’ve been reading a bit about how 5.56 doesn’t have the range needed in Afghanistan, and the Army has been re-issuing some M-14s, and that it was also the impetus for SOCOM wanting the 7.62 SCAR-H rifle.

Both.
Yeah, I have heard that as well. Apparently, from what I read, the Army is implementing two squad riflemen now with M-14s.
The guys I talk to are mainly door kickers and I don't think ever engages over 300 yards.
