More range is only one part of the problem, because a rifle also needs enough rounds, useful fire, and a load its user can carry all day. The video weighs the promise of each round against recoil, cost, magazine space, new parts, and the strain on a squad. It ends by looking at better 5.56 loads and a proposed M4 upgrade that aims to get more reach from a familiar platform.
