Yeah, but that's cutting it seriously close to the limit, and you can't drill with something as short as an M4 anyway.

Like mentioned everyone is entitled for their opinion, well in my opinion Xm-8 is a waste of money, there have been no major flaws in M-4 not that I've heard of right? so why fix it if it isn't broken?

The manifacturers claims the Xm-8 can fire up to 15,000 rounds without the need for cleaning. Whether this translate to actual field use remains to be seen. But even if say you fired 2,000 rounds before the need for cleaning, that's still great.

I hope the Bundeswehr will use it at some point, which they probably won't since they only introduced the G36 about 10 years ago, but a man can dream, right?
