aahhhh, the MSSR. free-floating barrel makes much of a difference.
In fairness, I'd like to admit that the MSSR's development and use by the Philippine Marines isnt about the issue of the quality of the 5.56 NATO round vis-a-vis others like the former eastern bloc 7.62. The choice of the M-16 platform with a 5.56 ammo was result of the Navy's effort to make do with what was available in its arsenal considering the lack of funds to acquire heavy caliber snipper riffles from abroad.
I'm proud to say that the MSSR can very well hold its ground in terms of performance in local conditions and its continued use by the marines is a testament to our ingenuity as a people.
