When we go to a new Infantry weapon system wide. That time might me here faster than you think with every service testing the SCAR-L and SCAR-H. The SCAR-L is readily adaptable from 5.56 to 6.8 in about 3 minutes. The SCAR-H is in 7.62 NATO and is very controllable on full auto. I have checked out the SCAR-H and it is a beautiful weapon and is so robust that the Marine Corp could not destroy it. The SCAR system is coming on line right now for Special Ops and would be no problem to go system wide with it. I have my eyes on one in 7.62 NATO but they are not cheap.
As for Law Enforcement sales I think you will see then stick with 5.56 because of the city attorneys worrying about a round going through a car or wall and killing a innocent bystander. The was the reason SWAT teams went from 5.56 to 9mm and then back to 5.56mm the attorneys.
