Hey, I did say “relatively” normal.

Definitely acknowledge that Nukes are not normal especially us ETs.

The ones that don’t realize it are the most abnormal.

At least I didn’t get chased through the woods by base security around Nuke School because I was hacking at a tree with a broad sword in full medieval garb.

The one 6.5mm was interesting. The frame work was a cross between an AR16~AR10. It was inbetween the 2. Had an electronic trigger. No hammer and firing pin. Squeegeed the trigger, and a voltage went to the rear of the casing. Then it went BOOM.

So much for that rifle.

Next...... This was one of the first caseless rounds. It basically got shot down because it had to use a battery to fire the round. And battery life was questionable at that time. It had better ballistics than the 7.62.

No doubts that you got to play with some interesting things.

I vaguely remember hearing about the electronic fired cartridges at some point. Something similar to the HK G11?
