Looks like at least some at the more "special" end of the combat spectrum are getting new toys .... :good:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Hello
Lets hope that there are no unwelcome surprises, as witnessed with previous issued rifles

tbh, Im surprised we haven't jumped on the americans new ammo type. always makes me smile when you hear someone trying to say how state of the art x M4 is. It's now a 66 year old design. about the only other thing I can think of that has remained fundamentally the same in all that time is a fridge.
