1/9 is the standard compared to 1/8 for civilian AR's. Why couldn't they? Because they know it works and does so with less fouling and less wear on the barrel. They know you aren't going to be shooting tracer ammo which is why the military has 1/7 twist instead of 1/9 that was originally suggested by the USMC for what would become the A2 version of the M16.

So the military needs a 7 twist barrel to stabilize a 64gr bullet? Why would I want a 9 twist again in a 3grand rifle? I get it for a $500 generic m4, but not a high end gun with $1000+ barrel on it.
