US rifles not suited to warfare in Afghan hills
• APThe U.S. military's workhorse rifle - used in battle for the last 40
years - is proving less effective in Afghanistan against the Taliban's
more primitive but longer range weapons.
As a result, the U.S. is reevaluating the performance of its standard M-4 rifle and considering a switch to weapons that fire a larger round largely discarded in the 1960s.

From the 100 year old 45acp to the 9mm…and now back to the 45acp for a sidearm.
From the 100 year old 30-06 to the 22 cal (M-16, M-4)…..Can the 03-A3 or the M1 Garand be making a comeback???
Size does matter! It always has.
The M-14 Is alive and well so whats the problem ? Just like the one In the picture..
So now we are the Redcoats?
