#5 Good sales pitch. However, it's *always* a good sales pitch. Though they are hard to find in the States, there are a bunch of weapons manufacturer trade magazines, for everything from knives to warships, and everything in between, and every single thing in them is "the best".

But I will always remember what an NCO friend pointed out, after seeing a demonstration of a particularly complex piece of equipment.

"I've got a private who could screw up a steel ball."

He wasn't exaggerating. I met the private. As one of his peers said, "He's got a mind like a computer. A Commodore 64."

#6 Red__
Per Bushmaster ACR site - can also fire 6.8mm Rem SPC with a barrel change - same bolt receiver.

Not 7.62/30-06 but better than poodle-shooter .556
