    Just stop giving money to leadership and give it to engineers after they come up with a good design.

      Ah, the silicon valley startup approach.

      You end up with maybe 10% good projects, 70% grifters and 20% projects that seem great to the engineers but have limited practical use.

        Yeh but thats a fantastic return compared to 1% good projects , 50% of which never get finished and 49% of which never get started yet somehow 100% of them go 500% over budget.

          You know, I actually wonder if there’s a universal law at play here. Maybe the same budget and the same ability to project accountability always gets the same return. To fund every good idea in a short period you have to fund a certain amount of bad or nonexistent ones.

      That’s what they get for letting the EM-2 die in favor of conforming with NATO standardization of 7.62x51mm.
