The OICW is dead. D-E-A-D. Dead! And it's been rotting in the grave now for a year.
It was loaded with problems and the advances didn't really pan out.
H&K has since simplified the concept and produced the H&K 416 which, because H&K hates America's 2nd Amendment rights, they will only sell to mil and police.
I don't get HK. Rumor has it the German overlords are liability skittish.
Good news is both SIG and FN are producing, and selling, brand new, made in the USA scary black rifles, for sale to civilians.
With the - at least for now -cancellation of the XM8, from a business perspective, not selling what would be popular guns - the 416 and G36 - is looking increasingly stupid.
are they replacing OICW with anythign else...i thought is was the weapon for the digital soldier/battlefield concept...??
