The word/rumor is that the Army is testing it as as a replacement for the M16 rifle. It is supposed to be going through battlefield testing right now with troops of the Stryker Brigade, I beleive. The Marine Corps has looked at it and initial impressions were extremely positive but with the relatively recent purchases of the M16A4 by the Corps it is rather dubious if we will purchase it in the near future. I, unfortunately, have not fired or even handled the weapon but my impression, for what it is worth, is that I would like to have one!!!
