That's mainly in places that are wide open in Afghanistan. To which everyone has responded by bringing back 7.62mm GPMGs into lower squad organizations, along with more 7.62mm rifles like M-14, and various AR-10 derivatives.
It just seems to me that this 6.8mm hyper pressure cartridge is a R&D solution to keep gun companies in business with contracts.
It might actually see limited service with Special Forces, who admittedly would need the extra overmatch the 6.8mm round requires; but for Big Army and Big Marines, just have a few M240s on the truck if you need it.
