Colt CM901 Colt CM901As opposed to an assault rifle?
They will pick something Soros owns.
I’m recalling that awhile back there was an article here that said that even the Army says the M4 “sucks.”

Microsoft had an issue and they realized that they weren’t in the game enough. They now have one of the largest corporate lobbying presences in DC. Lesson learned, in order to do business, you have to play sewerball in the swamps of Maryland.
The headline is interesting. It states that Colt is ‘on the outs’, implying they are ‘in trouble’ with the DoD, but the story does not explain what, if anything, they did wrong. Based on what I can find on-line it appears Colt’s current contract for M4s is set to expire some time in 2013 and the DoD wants to have a ‘new’ combat rifle ready for production by the time that happens.
Is it really all that unusual for the military to seek a successor to the M4 after almost 20 years in production? And is it really all the surprising that Colt might want a piece of the action (hence the lobbyist)?
It certainly does not appear that the DoD is terminating Colt’s current contract early or anything like that, so I am not sure what ‘on the outs’ is supposed to mean.
I thought FN Herstal was making the M16 for the US Military?
more connecticut jobs down the sewer.
Why not something in 7.62 x 39? Enemy weapons cache = ammo re-supply in the field.
This country has NOT WON a war since we got rid of the M-1 Garand, The Browning Automatic Rifle and the Thompson Sub-Machine Gun. Go back to these and get rid of WOMEN in the “military” and we just MAY start winning wars again.
