Re: US Army might have found its new rifle
One of the thoughts in my mind is, in a highly tense military situation, is the shooter going to take the time to ponder on what "fire option" he is going to use before commencing to shoot?
As you said, it has to overcome a basic, but very well defined flaw - there several things that the M-16 and M-4 do better than the M-14. What are the problems with the rifles used today? If the XM-8 project has been cancelled after it offered view advantages over the current rifles, then how will this rifle outweigh the current rifles?
"Our guys have the same junk weapons as our adversaries" is a very bold statement to make when the US has some of the most advanced weaponry systems today...
