It was supposed to be the Heckler & Koch XM-8, but it was cancelled in 2005 because there was supposedly no competition for the rifle. So until further notice, our military will be using the M16 and M4.

For the subsequent 10-twenty years, there probably isn't many new firearms accompanied. those that are will somewhat be adjustments on the present subject concerns: intermediate cartridges fired from AR-form weapons, bullpup weapons, or AK-form weapons. in case you would be conscious, maximum militaries have been shifting in the direction of compact attack rifles interior the final twenty years or so- the M4 interior the U. S., enormously lots each bullpup (particularly those like the TAR-21), et cetera. that's doubtless one in all of the only substantial substitute you will see- smaller, greater compact firearms meant for shorter stages, considering maximum wrestle takes place interior 200 meters. i'm shocked you're doing a school-point record on close to-term advancements in attack rifle technologies. sounds like a particularly ineffective subject rely, considering each plan in contemporary times has the two long previous nowhere or has been one in each of those tiny substitute as to slightly warrant a footnote in historic past.

M-16 will be around for a long time good weapon but i prefer the M-14 i have even heard the Navy still has some Thompson Subs for close quarters ship to ship fighting and by the way the Thompson was and is still the finest sub-machine gun ever produced just expensive to manufacture. I mean hey all the gangsters can't be wrong lol

The M4A1 and the M16A3. The rail system they use will just carry more goodies (although not all at once) including gun cameras (like aircraft use) and laser targeting systems.

Made by Haliburton, not enough in supply, at an astronomical cost over run, and break quickly.
