Shrike: Yeah, if feel that if you put a heavy buffer in that thing, kept the standard RPM down to like 650-750... you'd have a kickass little SAW carbine. Heavy fluted quick change barrel, belt fed 200 rounder. Need a better stock (Magpul UBR gets me hot) and a nice new EO tech... that'd be suh-weet.

...

I think the USMC would be bettered served by a lightweight 20" 5.56mm DMR with an option to put 2-round bursts out at a ridiculous rate of fire to keep tight patterns. If they want a lighter SAW on their budget? They need to do a product improvement cycle, not get a whole other weapon system.
