You beat me too it, I was just about to post the same article

.

What I like about this better than the XM-8 is the larger caliber foremost. Definitely a significant improvement in terms of performance. Also, the M468 is said to be more reliable under combat conditions. And it has a bayonet mount

.

The M468 also appears to be made out of metal. Another point in my book.

The barrel length is 16", 4 inches better than the XM-8 and that is also a significant inprovement. It is also 4 inches shorter than the M-16.

I like it. I just wonder how it really performs.
