Scott, have you gotten to fire the 6.8 SPC yet?
I am all around a fan of bringing back at least the .308.
Back on the armor, I saw the test on the dragon skin, and it looks like good shit. It seems to adress my 2 problems with the IBAS, side coverage sucks, and the plates are inflexible/PITA in any vehicle.
The round in question for the Dragon Skin not stopping is 7.62 x 63mm APM2 (30-06)
Sure would be nice to get those back in circulation.
One more powered by ADD part of this post:
Dragon skin is roughly 3k a peice. Roughly 42 million to replace an armor system that, although is not the greatest perhaps, it is still a good system and serves the purpose well. Thats money that could go to uparmoring a few more vehicles, better optics for rifles, any order of other things that are perhaps a little more urgent.
