Haven't watched the vid: These cases are non reloadable which could impact zinc/copper mining jobs and cause more reliance on oil like a gd Tesla boosts coal mining: Wouldn't have a problem without Gore/Kerry bullshit.

The weight reduction/heat reduction is significant but the historically fucktarded military will try to shove more shit in the sack and increase the burden of a machine gunner/AG.

That is all.

What about the overall cost of this ammo granted it's only made by one company, perhaps price would be cheaper after more manufacturers begin to produce compared to brass ammo.

My post still stands. It's a good concept on the surface.

Plastic cymbals would suck: BAM BAM BAM after the guitar solo:

Lincoln, kinda...
As I recall this stems from the military research into a new round, the 6.8 mm.

As it stands right now, the casings cannot be reloaded, which is a bummer for many shooters, even though the ballistics seem to be pretty good overall.

Yes and according to others on other sites all agree that from a military perspective its beneficial on many different levels when dealing with weight and overall cost compared to traditional ammo.
I did read on other sites that the traditional reloading equipment would not work on this type of casing but with different equipment it can be reloaded since the case returns to its original size after being used.

I do read you're being contrarian and glossing over my above points.

I understand svn if it wasn't for the green energy crusaders, mining for precious metals wouldn't be an issue.
