I say why not keep both the 762 and 556? Both have distinct advantages, the 5.56x45 NATO is fine for Automatic Riflemen with M249s, but the 7.62x51 NATO is superior for Riflemen, it's the offspring of the .30-06 which has been America's standard for over a century, we see clear advantages for each.
