Damn, sounds like this is a handout to rifle manufacturers. The claim it's to defeat ceramic armor is ridiculous. A larger slower moving round isn't going to help that. Maybe it's more effective at fighting unarmored jihadis, but seems like the extra weight and lower round count is the wrong way to go.
