  Apologies if this has been posted before...a detailed summary of 5.56mm weapons from WWII to today. CIS gets an honourable if short mention. Interesting latter years (2000 - today) on SOF choices.

  Good stuff, Unsung! I knew that the development was highly political, but not to this extent.

  Yes, that caught me by surprise too, but one can only surmise that is unlikely to change going forward.
