They've been using them for the last...what? 100 years? A bit more? Why not? :p

Plus it is canonically 7.62mm.

Post by: Dysko on February 13, 2007, 01:39:39 pm: AFAIK, 7.62 mm projectiles are the right balance between the high penetration power of the 5.56 mm projectiles and the high stopping power of 9 mm projectiles, so they are multi-purpose projectiles that are very likely to be used also in the future. At least until laser cannons are made light enough to be used as infantry weapons.

There exists an Airsoft version of the Aliens Marine assault rifle... i saw it somewhere retailing on the net for several hundred dollars, maybe over a thousand, I forget
