That is NOT the next generation rifle. It is the next generation light machine gun, not to be the personal weapon of most Marines.

Something fishy here. The rest of the Military seems keen on dumping the 5.56. The M249 is 5.56 and I do not get why the Marines are looking at replacing it with another 5.56. I have talked to many Marines who want it to go to 7.62 or one of the newer 6.mm range weapon systems. Seems strange.
