Post; New American rifle XM-28


or something like that, either XM-28, XM-29, XM-8

i forgot which one, but it kicks ass.

I've noticed that modern military rifles are more like computers then guns and this gun proves it, Currently only prototypes exist but it will be mass produced and distributed amongst US soldiers in the year 2008.

can't wait to get mine

XM-29 is the new name for the Old OICW we planned In the 90s, XM-8 is the reality of what were going to be using.

^Here is the weapon being carried by a CIS Operator (Chris Neidrich, KIA unfortunatly) In Iraq. As I asked In another thread, how did CIS get ahold of these, I didn't even know they were on any market yet.

Yep, that's the one, i had a couple websites on it but they got deleted when i got a virus.

The features on that gun are amazing, and they still have 4 more years of development.

OICW is a great gun.

But the OICSW is the best, it is basically a computer that does everything for the gun.

OICW as it stands will never be In use, It's bulky and awkward to carry, and setting up the computer systems is not ideal for combat. It evolved into the XM-8.

Well true the OICSW is a pretty big gun, it is gigantic. And it would take time to set up, but i still think it would be ideal for defense of embassies

I'd hate computer systems being on a gun, and take this from someone who knows computers. If guns start to rely too much on computers, the average dumbass user is ****ed. Some people are INCREDIBLY stupid with even the basics of electronics. And what happens if they do put computer like systems on a gun? Will you need a high EL score on the ASVAB just to carry one? LOL

plus those guns are so complicated, i would never be able to use them properly, plus the cost of these guns must be outrageous.
