Probably we are going to migrate to the .40, but 6.8? Who knows.
Right now they are trying to figure out how to give Colt shyte-tons of money to re-cofig all the M-4's into gas piston guns.
And we saw how the "new" SF .45 project went down the tubes.
Now, supposedly the idea is back at SF command.
We'll see.

Gas piston conversion is a smart move, should of happend years ago. I can put hundreds of rounds thru my M4 and the bolt/carrier are barely dusted with residue and not really hot. Doesn't need to be oiled either (hardly) and we know what dif that makes in the sandbox.
