With regard to the 7.62 being an obselete calibre, I have also had the great fortune to fire both rounds from all sorts of weapons (I rather dislike the term "weapon system") and each has its merits, my point being that both are useful and should continue to see service side by side, the British Army has recently invested in this upgraded version of the good old FN MAG so will still be stinging baddies for a long time to come, doubtless alongside its smaller cousin the 5.56
Heres a toast to them both

P.S, Beautiful L1A1 BTW
