It&#39;s probably cheaper than paying for tinnitus and such. Also it makes tactical sense. SPC Elijah J.

The Army is hoping to develop a &quot;family&quot; that would essentially be the same designs for all calibers used.

This normally slows the speed of the round down, affecting range and accuracy. Agree it would work wonders in clearing houses, but they are lousy for long shots.

Personally I think they would be a great addition to an individual soldier&#39;s firearm. The biggest hold up, I suspect, are from the bean counters who don&#39;t want to work the numbers to have an extra $1000 attached to a weapon when it is likely just going to gather dust.
