Forget the minor revisions. My only question is will it improve a grunt's chance of icing a rughead?

Reach out and touch someone!

You would think that this particular problem would have been discovered in the early stages of testing. However, switching from 6.8 mm to 5.56mm to save a few ouncues is a big mistake.

Barrel length: 318 mm in basic configuration;

12.5" for a 223.....what a joke...

Misleadig title. Only the hand guard melts, and they already have a design solution underway.

The U.S. Army has asked Congress for an extra $26 million to buy 7,000 XM-8 rifles next year.

That sounds like almost $4K per rifle for some sort of an m16 replacement. I'm definitely in the wrong business. You can buy really fine rifles (Blasers) for that, and you can buy better military rifles for a hell of a lot less.

We should start testing out nuclear missles again to ensure they will not melt before they lift off.
