Another good gun. But……..

We need a design challenge at DARPA. All these weapons are old potatoes re-warmed. AR18 repackaged as “XM8.” This is essentially an older design too........ There hasn’t been anything new that really brought anything new in capabilities or performance in a long time.

There were some inspiring ideas such as caseless ammunition on the G11 concept for example. What we need is a revolutionary break through, not some evolutionary development that brings modest performance gains over what we have now. -IMHO

Agreed.

What we need is a man-portable (and useable), high energy pulse laser. No recoil, no windage. Point, click, ZZZzzzphths, clunk.
