I had heard the XM8 was shelved permanently.

haha to the first comment sry about the typo i wrote it REALLY fast. And to the guy who said it was shelved permanently.... the XM8 or the XM29? Im pretty sure the xm8 will be adopted. Most of the army weapons officials are confident that it will be adopted, they said they've never seen anything fire straight out of the box like this.

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]
