    Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect reacted to CDNcommissar in The Small Arms Thread, Part 8: 2018; ICSR to be replaced by US Army with interim 15mm Revolver Cannon.   
    2012-vintage GPC and AR15 replacement herpderp, courtesy of the Military Review, the US Army's Professional Journal

    "AN ARMY OUTGUNNED: Physics Demands A New Basic Combat Weapon" by Joseph P. Avery, Ph.D

    Two observations: 1)Title mentions a new "BCW", but not why. 2)Yes he has a PhD, but it's not a STEM degree
     
     
    Homeslice needs to "stay in his lane"

    I've skimmed through the first 4 paragraphs so far, and each is built a a derp-diamond:

    (bolding courtesy of your CDNcommissar, the helpful politest commissar)

    The bulk of the first paragraph:
    lol no

    Second paragraph - MP.44 and AK-47 derp:
    lolwut
    Jesus, no
    #triggered

    Third paragraph - Blathers on about Marshall's nonsense, before mentioning that Marshall was spewing nonsense
    But wait! There's more, Peak Derp (of this paragraph) is achieved in the last sentence:
    u wot m8?
    "The Cult of the Rifleman"

    Forth paragraph's Peak Derp, again in the last sentence:
    wrong.gif
    FIND (from FIND, FIX, FIGHT, FINISH) (the more contemporary version F2T2EA is FIND, FIX, TRACK, TARGET, ENGAGE, ASSESS...IMHO a worse acronym, but I digress) is still extremely difficult. The enemy still gets a vote. 
    He is equivocating long LOS with higher visibility.
    A handful of counterexamples to his point that today's combat environment is different: the steppes of the Eastern Front had quite long LOS, the desert combat of Desert Storm had quite long LOS etc etc
    It's not really any different. Conflict occurs in environments where humans are, just as it always has. 
     
    This is a important aspect of the disadvantages with 5.56 replacements, they neglect the difficulties with FIND (while and/or assuming perfect conditions for a more powerful cartridge)
    His reasoning: combat environment is different, longer LOS -> MOAR VISIBLE -> 223 POODLE VARMINT SHOOTER LACKS RANGE

    Fifth paragraph: MUH THURDY CAL WOOD AND STEEL(?)
    ugh
    TO BE CONTINUED?

    I personally think that v6 mustangs at 28 percent interest and drunk strippers are too dangerous to be in the hands of civilians. 
     
    If you want them, you should join the military like everyone else.

    But it "wasn't designed" to do that. 
     
    M193 frags but "not by design".
     
    But it's a trite clause at best. We could say the main design is to punch a hole in paper. But if it just so happens to violently expand and induce polonium poisoning then that's totally not the main design. Totally an accident. Just a little fluke. Lolz we already made some so piss off.
