What has 6.8mm not being battle proven have anything to do with deploying it on a wide scale, what needs to be proven in order for it to be battle proven? it is a round, it obviously has more stopping power than the 6.5, 7.62 and 5.56 and better energies at impact. I am not saying the 5.56 is not lethal but it won't knock a armoured soldier dead, a well trained soldier during battle is pumped full of adrenaline and that means in many cases won't even feel the hit unless the hit is in a vital organs. more so during all these years, if anything is proven is that the 5.56 lacks true effective knock down power.6.8mm may sound nice and better but not battle proven, 5,56mm on other hand did in many ways, 64gr 5.56mm is lethal and i hope more lethal 5.56mm get inducted ..
As far as 5.56 against armour, nice video, its pretty hopeless against modern plates at 50yrds.
