[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3115941, member: 9374"] I think I have read something about a good amount of longer-range running gun battles in Afghanistan, like several hundred yards, squads being pinned down by 2 or 3 Taliban up in the rocky hills. I don't know how common it is, but it seems I read some of them lamenting they didn't have a heavier/faster round to reach out and really pin them down or take them out. I could also be totally making **** up, I don't know. Just seems like I read something about that, somewhere, and that was at least one argument in favor of a caliber change, or at least an additional loadout for several members of a team. Of course, before long, you've got one guy with a SAW, one with a shotgun, one with a longrange hunting rifle, etc. I'm not a military guy, so I don't know how that all works. [/QUOTE]
