The rounds are HALF A POUND EACH. The weapon itself is 25 POUNDS! Geez, they're going backwards.
Everything but the airburst mode can be duplicated by the FN2000, and FN is looking at that as an option.

"..The XM25 is still a heavy weapon, with the final version coming in at nearly 18 pounds. The 25mm shells are heavier as well, about half a pound each. On the plus side, there is already a 25mm armor piercing round (using a shaped charge capable of penetrating over 50mm of armor). This makes the M-25 capable of knocking out light armored vehicles..."
