As far as I know, America is staying the course with the AR-15 family for its infantry. XM-8 got canned. Special Forces do get their new toy, though.

The XM-8 program was scarped because it cost to much money. DoD had to buy new magazines, new equipment, new everything.....

Samething with the JCP. It's now a special operations only project. The military is staying with the Beretta 92FS.

Damn, I really expected the Army to adopt the HK45. It's a nice pistol, though they could've just issed USP Tacticals with rails.

No new assualt rifle for along time for the US Army cause of the waste of dollars spent already.
