It took quite a lot of effort
and intensive study to field a round optimized for the 'Confined Space Assault Weapon' fielded by certain unnamable units.
Also, another ten years or so of work to finally field the replacement (M855A1) for the M855 'green tip' round that happens to work quite well in the M4/A1.
Barrel length is still of importance, but not to the extent it was even five years ago.
