Thanks guys. I had been thinking about the .303 vs 5.56 round simply because it seems more .303 carbines or battle rifles are coming into the market. Sgt. I agree about the issue of weight, and normally I like a game in which restrictions are tight on players, but given the cargo capacity of the Project, I am unsure whether the difference would be that substantial. A friend, an army colonel, prefers the .303 round simply because it is more effective in the field. Married with a more precise rifle, it would seem a good balance of both worlds, but I am unsure.
With regard to the Stoner system, what got me thinking about it was that the Stoner was a rare system and not a perfect system- although favored by SEAL teams in Vietnam. Stoner seemed to be ahead of his time. What got me thinking about this was the M4 system and accessories - SOPMOD 1 and 2 and M4 MWS as kits that allow for adaptability for a weapon that is widely used. That's a leap before a light machine gun.
