The XM8 is a product of the OICW program and it apears to be a good rifle but I thought I heard that the Military decided they didnt want it but im not sure cause ive heard some other things to so are they still working on it or not?

The AR-15 variants are going to be around a good while longer. this is because changing rifles is expensive. the thing thats holding the US up is cartrige development. the intermediate assault rifle cartrige is a fairly new concept when compared to other types of cartriges. the challenge is to make a round small enough so that the soldier can carry enough to do his job for a long time, but it should pack enough punch to kill an enemy.

scrapped, it performed at the same level as the M4, not better.
