Don't forget about the "tendancy" of Colt to offer golden posts to every single guy having a word in issuing assault rifle. That's one of the reason why the M16/M4 were not really improved in 50 years where the rest of the world had better guns. If I recall they're just talking about getting rid of the gaz tube to put a short stroke piston retro fit.

Starting to change a litlle bit given the USMC Force Recon are getting a SAW version of the HK416 (basically they just put a heavy barrel on it)... "weirdly" every guy in Force Recon is converting to SAW.

Now I'd like a change in caliber...
