BS: The 3-round “burst control” (AKA VC Birth Control) is needed because it takes 3 rounds of 5.56 to do anything!
Fired an XM8 in 6.5 Grendel at SHOT. Incredible! 6.5 Grendel is a small round that fits the 5.56 form factor and has better downrange accuracy and ENERGY than 7.62 NATO!

While it may have more energy than a 308 at the muzzle, I suspect that it lags behind the 308 once it covers much distance.

The 6.5 Grendel is too effective. It will result in an immediate increase in corpses with an equal reduction in wounded enemy fighters.
