Omg dude, that's not an AR-10! Not only that, the MCX is a multi-caliber platform. Nobody, except for the few who bought the limited editions, even know how it's assembled. It won't even come out, maybe until the end of this year.

What difference does the platform make? Support is support, unless the requirements to achieve the desired results are too far outside the box that no one wants to get in the game until it proves it isn't going to fall on it's face.
There's a reason why brass cases have remained relatively unchanged for the last 175 years or so.
Ok, I'll take my chances on the side of what the military adopts.
Ok, well I'm out of this conversation, because you would have to be insane to be rooting for it to not catch on. I mean it's like the medical industry inventing a cure for cancer, and you're like, "No, I want to stick to chemo." So, god bless, and good luck in getting your wishes.You're right, I can't think of anything they made the wrong choice on
There is no debate on the ballistics - the velocity you quote means it's worse than SST (the smallest of the mag-faced cases mentioned) by 2 or 3+ FEET of windage @ 1K, depending on projectile, and without even getting into solids, which would add another foot of windage differential. The debate is leftist in nature, i.e. predicated upon changing definitions/assumptions/criteria in order to avoid facts.
My point to this really has nothing to do with the concept itself and I'm fully on board with advancements within the industry, however if the advancements nullify the current available equipment or rely on watering down the advancement to safely use it in current equipment, then it really isn't a huge leap forward.
