Only difference I can see is it is an open bolt system (after the first round gets sent downrange).

They have reinvented the wheel. If I want a sustained fire machinegun, I want something in .30 cal flavor, beltfed, and allows me to maintain a field of fire in which nothing lives without my permission.

Or just set me behind Ma Deuce and keep the ammo coming!

I agree. They're taking away a belt fed weapon, albeit a 5.56, and replacing it with a 5.56 rifle with a 30 rd mag.

I don't get it.
