'''6.66mm Longneck''' is a 6.66x50mm rifle round with an overstated neck. The 6.66mm Longneck is claimed to be of higher accuracy and features greater knockdown power than the shorter Dante round. It has a closer ballistics profile to the 6.7x50mm round that was developed during the creation of the [[6.66mm Dante]] round as well. Weapons which can fire 6.66mm Longneck can also fire 6.66mm Dante, but weapons designed to fire 6.66mm Dante, will not even chamber 6.66mm Longneck. This was done intentionally, so that civilian defense forces equipped with semi-automatic Longneck rifles could use spare ammo from the military, but making sure the military could not use Longneck in their automatic weapons, since the recoil is higher and would disrupt established firing patterns. | '''6.66mm Longneck''' is a 6.66x50mm rifle round with an overstated neck.
