Yeah I shouldn't have said "terrible" weapon. I mean it kills people just as good as any rifle.
But the one complaint that I have seen, and my fellow Marines say: "It sucks at long range"
As for the XM-8 that is a huge weapon, and I'm not to crazy about the 20mm launcher above the barrel. My issue with that is... "I have only been in 2 firefights in my Marine Corps career. One when I used 3 rounds of 9mm ammo, and one were I used 17 M-16 rounds. I just do not see the need for such a huge caliber weapon on the standard infantry weapon. Personally I didn't like the 37mm launcher on the M-16.
Has anyone ever had the need to use the 37mm launcher on the M-16?? I shot it a couple of times, and it has a nice explosion to it![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
