I wonder if they're field-testing the OICW (Objective Individual Combat Weapon). The "XM-29" has had problems before involving it's unique semi-automatic 20mm grenade launcher. The grenade fuses can be set for air-burst over enemy positions, but in testing at least one grenade detonated before leaving the barrel.
