Serious Are 6.5mm assault rifles the future?

[AsiaCel]

Armies of the world have famously went from 7.62 guns to 5.56 or 5.45 guns. The reason is that a lighter round has improved weight (to carry more), and in AK's case, more accurate.

With increasing capabilities of body armor, 6.5mm rounds seem to be the future, improving on current capabilities without much sacrifice like 7.62 rounds have.

This post comes from top of my head. I could post some data but I'm on mobile so

Immediately banned in California lmao. Soon the only gun you'll be allowed to own in Cali will be a single shot .22 pistol that's break action lol

From Wikipedia on 6.5mm Creedmoor
In general, 6.5 mm (.264 in) bullets are known for their high sectional density[8] and ballistic coefficients, and often have been used successfully in rifle competitions. The 6.5mm Creedmoor was designed for target shooting at longer ranges, and as such, couples a sensible case volume (3.40 ml) to bore area (34.66 mm2/0.3466 cm2) ratio with ample space for loading long slender projectiles providing good aerodynamic efficiency and external ballistic performance for the projectile diameter.[4] For some loads, the 6.5mm Creedmoor is capable of duplicating the muzzle velocity[2] or trajectory[10] of the .300 Winchester Magnum while generating significantly-lower recoil, based on lighter projectile weight
