Well the OICW , as other X like XM8 , MX25 . Was big dissapointment , Most of the bulky desing , and problem in the feeld. And if a wepon is not all round wepon is not good at all. Thats why they scrap those projects.

For now best round wepon , wuld be the HK416. In short its has all the good things from M series. But also have redesing build .

By Matthew Cox - Staff writer

Delta Force worked with a gun maker to come up with a better weapon. The 416 is now considered in many circles to be the best carbine in the world, but the regular Army is sticking with the M4 and M16.

"March 4, 2002. An RPG tore into the right engine of an MH-47 Chinook helicopter loaded with a quick-reaction force of Rangers in the Shahikot Mountains of eastern Afghanistan. The Chinook crashed atop Takur Ghar, a 10,000-foot peak infested with al-Qaida fighters.

Enemy fire poured into the fuselage, killing Rangers even before they got off the aircraft. Capt. Nate Self crawled out.

“As soon as I got off the ramp, a burst of rounds fired right over my head,” he recalled.

He joined a handful of his men in the open, exposed to enemy fire. An RPG exploded within a few feet of their position.

“We got up and started firing and moving to some boulders 15 meters away,” he said.

Once behind cover, Self tried to fire again, but his weapon jammed.
Instinctively, he tried to fix it with “immediate action,” a drill he’d practiced countless times.

“I pulled my charging handle back, and there was a round stuck in the chamber,” he recalled.

Like the rest of his men, Self always carried a cleaning rod zip-tied to the side of his weapon in case it failed to extract a round from the chamber.

“There was only one good way to get it out and that’s to ram it out with a cleaning rod,” he said. “I started to knock the round out by pushing the rod down the barrel, and it broke off. There was nothing I could do with it after that.”

The Rangers were fighting for their lives. Self left his covered position and ran under machine-gun fire to search for a working weapon.

“I just got up and moved back to the aircraft because I knew we had casualties there. I threw my rifle down and picked up another one.”

Self was awarded a Silver Star for his actions that day.

When even highly trained infantrymen like Self have problems with their M4 it is a sign there might be a problem with the weapon, not the soldier.



And here is post from my mate from AA . And this is no BS .

Hardly. The XM8 BLOWS and was really just a huge junkie hype for a short while when the Army suggested replacing the their standard primary.

First, it looks like a toy. Maybe they stole the idea from the movie "Aliens" or something.

Second, it performed HORRIBLY during the Army's experimental tests. Don't let the company's promotional video fool you with their "we left it in dirt and mud and it still fired like a champ." My dad SENT troops to Panama to test the rifle and they came back with a list of problems. From first-hand experiences, all I ever heard about it was that it was garbage and the contract would fall through. Sure enough, it did.

Around the same time, the SCAR contract was a completely different story. Again, my father went to a weapons convention a few years ago in DC (before the SCAR-H and L were issued) and said that D-boys showed them all the newest toys. He got to fire the SCAR weapons and came back telling me that he loved the higher caliber H model.

Though my old man retired late January after 27 years with the Legion of Merit... He said he's going to check out the 416 for a possibility as his primary in his "new job." (He claims "they"---don't ask, he won't even tell me--- will allow him access to anything the government has, but non-civie-legalized weapons have to stay in their designated armory).

Looking for reliability

The key to the 416’s reliability lies in its gas system. It looks like the M4 carbine on the outside, but on the inside, H&K has replaced Colt’s “gas-tube” system with the short-stroke piston system. This eliminates carbon being blown back into the chamber, which leads to fouling problems, and greatly reduces parts wear created by super-heated gases used to cycle the weapon. The result, experts say, is that the 416 is more reliable, easier to maintain and has a longer parts life than the M4.

“It was a phenomenal gun,” said former Delta member and current H&K consultant Larry Vickers. “In my opinion it has the best gas system on the market for a shoulder-fired autoloading weapon. It’s lightweight, very efficient; it’s clean and has minimal heat transfer.”

Vickers retired as a master sergeant in 2003 after serving 15 of his 20 years on active duty with Delta. He played a major role in the development of the 416 while working as weapons research and development sergeant for Delta.
Vickers has stayed connected with the special operations community as a weapons trainer since his retirement. He remembered that Delta leaders were so happy with the 416 they bought the first 500 to come off the assembly line.

It was in Iraq in no time, but not before H&K and Delta put “a quarter-of-a-million rounds through it,” Vickers said. “It had the right kind of testing — endurance firing to 15,000 rounds with no lubrication. It runs like a sewing machine.”
