I hope the US takes this as new weapon, dump the M16, M4 trash. Its long overdue to rid the Mattel toys from the military.

The smaller Nato calibre might be out, the US spec forces are choosing HK 417 and even AK’s in the field, the M16-M4′s should be the past too many jamming issues and constant cleaning, soldiers are not confident with them which means low morale.

I don’t understand why the military hasn’t adopted this weapon. It seems much nicer than the M4.

[...] the M4, and another for a rapid-firing grenade launcher, Program XM29, which ended up with the XM25. Along the way, the program ran into more corporate and political interference than you can [...]

well in any case if it does get adopted within the ranks of the army, it will be better then the m16 for the simple fact that you dont have to clean it as much. and hopfully im in when it happens. hell i dont get out until 2014.

Tom, yes, the xm8 is modelled after the G36 weapon line.

haha good joke private (that is if you’ve even gone through basic yet) dakota. if someone told you this they are ill-informed or playing a joke. and if you’re still using an m16 your probably getting issued an m4 as almost all of our armed forces are still transitioning to the m4 with the exception of a few Marine infantry units as well as grenadiers.

It has hardpoints instead. you don’t have to re-adjust the attachements because of how they are hooked on. See the ovals on the front of the gun? that is were they attach.
