US Army eyes new automatic rifle that fires with pressure equivalent to tank: report
Note their headline:
US Army eyes new automatic rifle that fires with pressure equivalent to tank: report
What does that mean?
How much pressure is in the breach when a modern tank fires? Different for SABOT vs HE ?
Now their subheadline is either outstanding, outlandish or misleading
New US Army assault rifle with power of a tank
I'm no tanker, my uncle rode with Patton in the desert, but those are powerful machines. How on earth could that be on a soldiers shoulder?
Military Times has a slightly different headline to this story.
More than a rifle: How a new 6.8mm round, advanced optics will make soldiers, Marines a lot deadlier

TL;dr folks, not the .458 HAM'R, but rather the 6.8mm Remington SPC.
