. . .Shame it has to be in 5.56. If they could bring this out with a *real* cartridge, it would be h4x0r ü83r.

It is lighter, cheaper, more reliable,.......
lol, i really doubt it's gonna be much cheaper after reading all it's 'pros' and seeing it having no 'cons'

lighter? yeah when u take all the add-ons off the gun maybe :P

Somethings just seem too good to be true yeh know? :O well im not saying the gun won't exist and won't kick all the other guns' arses, but there's always a bad side to something that is yet to be found out


pie- when u say 'real' cartridge, i assume u mean 7.62? ^.^ well i think US has decided to default to 5.56 because of it's lighter, i think it's the only possibility why they chose it over the 7.62. The 7.62 out performs the current 5.56 in every aspect, especially it's penetration factor


heh i guess all this XM8 gun is missing is the all-purpose electronic sight that had on the OICW had :P then maybe some.. microscopic built-in aimbots, heh.. then THAT will be totally pwn4g3 "h4x0r ü83r"
zomg?! wtf?! lag?! rematch?!
