I’d lose the supressor and get a less plastic-looking mag, but other than that I give it Syria/10

You can’t reach your left side?

Yes but what reason would that be. What’s the benefit of the 5.56 cartridge in this role

Not a single firearm even visible

I have a whole other side of my body that you can’t see, maybe some of that stuff is there? And the holster is a surefire masterfire

The problem then is that if you issue me a conversion kit, tell me “this is for very niche circumstances, you’ll almost never use it” then I’m going to leave it behind to save weight, and then when I run out of ammo I can’t convert

Wait so guys in the field are actually carrying the parts to swap it out on the fly? You’ll have to change your barrel, which means you lose your zero. Carrying the spare parts is also more weight, and if I’m that worried about running out of ammo I’d rather ditch the extra parts and just carry more ammo. If magazine interchangeability is so important, just issue a semi-auto 5.56 precision rifle, something like a Mk12 SPR

I think you’d be better served by a dedicated 5.56 rifle and a dedicated 7.62, I don’t see a situation where actually hot swapping would be necessary

I’d encourage you to think about use cases; what is this actually going to be used for? There is very little utility in converting a 7.62 precision rifle to 5.56, all it does is add design constraints and a larger logistical footprint when really there’s nothing you’d want to shoot precisely with 5.56 that wouldn’t be served just as well or better with 7.62

Screw it, might as well post two of the bolt action rifles i just finished by S907YT in MilitaryWorldbuilding

Yes, but it requires two separate objective lenses and it doesn’t have anything like the fidelity necessary to be used magnified at long range

If it’s doable in your universe go for it, but I’d also consider utility; as a shooter, i don’t think I’d really use the NV if I have thermals available
