I had heard the XM8 was shelved permanently.

I got to fire one in March. As of then, the project was very advanced and proceeding. There remain questions as to whether they'll be fielded in 5,56mm or the new 6,8mm cartridge, or both [the XM8 can easily be changed to either]

I've heard about the possible ammo change. That argument over whether the 5.56mm is effective or not is still raging. Some fill it won't happen since NATO isn't changing or at least not at the moment. Did you like shooting the XM8. Is it something functional.
