I really don't think we're going to see a new rifle for another 10 years though. Every development program has been scrapped, and no one seems too hot to trot to replace the M16/M4.


okie, I get what your saying, the terminal ballistics are completely different tho and thats what we're after, better terminal ballistics.

and what is this 'we're not going to see a rifle for another ten years' stuff? We ain't gonna see anything like that because WE live in different countries

don't despair tho, the G36 is FAR superior to the M16.
