Common sense stick with 9mm and give them good hollow point ammo, but Libs in Pentagon and D.C. would go ape s^&% over this.
10mm , really???  FBI couldn't handle it.
FN has their new 45acp, to big for 1/2 the troops?

Here's the scary thought, (I deal with US Navy both retired & active duty) and MANY have not fired small arms since boot camp, doubt they could hit a target with a22lr.

Conclusion, more gross waste of tax payer $$$ and nothing to help our Armed Services

Hollow point is illegal in war. It is part of some international law or something. Maybe the Hague Convention or Geneva Convention.

True. Ironic that the US agrees to these things but winds up fighting others that haven't. I notice we don't use napalm anymore.

It takes years for the military to finish testing and approval of a new firearm.....it was reported this week the Army has ordered quite a few more Berretta's.

This would do what they need and bypass that stupid ass Geneva convention rule https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LczfeWK9lHw.

Now, I would love to see them use 10mm and all but this round would be extremely effective in any caliber. Hell, stick with the Berretta and use this round. Pricey yes, but would work great.

I would like to place a bet on the military carrying what the cops are carrying...Glock 22 in 40 S&W.

Not all cops carry that.  Sacramento sheriff is transitioning all officers to the glock 17 with federal hst 147gr.  Also tons of federal law enforcement carry hk p2000 40cal.  Its all over the map when it comes to carry guns.  Nypd and las vegas metro both issue glock 17 with 124gr +p gold dots.
