The Army is currently testing a new replacement for the M4 ,and the M16 both . Its still being tested at Fort Benning ,Ga . Its called the MX8 and was developed by Hechler & koch Defense Inc. They were also testing the new polymer cased ammo to replace the brass rounds . I read this in the Army times .
The M16 is a much better weapon then the MX8. The Marine Corps has already said no thanks to it. I can't believ they want to issue a weapon with no iron sights and depend on glass optics only! [:'(]
