Dutch Special Ops buying 300BLK Carbines!~

via IHS Janes.

The Netherlands Maritime Special Operations Force (NL-MARSOF) are planning to purchase a new carbine chambered in the non-NATO standard 7.62x35 mm (300 BLK), with a formal tender being launched by the Netherlands' Defence Material Organisation.

Story here. 

I personally think that the 300BLK is the ultimate caliber for most citizens.  5.56 is great for what it does but for the ranges at which most civilians shoot and the ability to take down man sized game, the 300BLK is perfect.

Now it seems that Special Ops across the water is rethinking their CQB and getting a quick and easy upgrade.

They're thinking...I like it!
