I get the feeling this poll may never see the light of day.

I assume the magazine was going to be part of the stock like on the XM-29 correct? I can think of a couple of ways to do it on the M-16 but they would all make the it rather muzzle heavy and I doubt that would be allowed. :D

How were they planning on putting it on the XM8?

Glock

Good Lord, and I thought my Glocks were ugly.:what:

I wouldn't be so sure of that. He is a professor and as such has access to eager young minds. :what:

My original comments were to the XM-8 and not the M-16. They were directed at all the talk of how easy it is to switch an XM-8 barrel and how that was an improvement over the M-16. My comment was that switching from a 12.5" barrel to a 20" barrel on an XM-8 would require a little more than just...

The barrel. :scrutiny: It's a nifty concept. I just don't think it is that drastic of an improvement to re-equip all our forces with them. Those funds might be better spent on things like body armor and such.

Fine your own comments have proven the invalid nature of unscientific studies. And how can you do that without also factoring how many times someone wasn't stopped with only a single shot? Are you on his payroll or something? :rolleyes:

About as often as I suspect the barrel would be changed on the XM-8. But as already brought up the M-16 series has proven to be a reliable weapon system. As far as adaptability in the future goes....No one knows what the future is going to hold in order to claim the XM-8 will even be able...

How can you arrive at a valid percentage of one shot stop potential if you ignore the times that it took more than one shot to stop someone.

Ok there it is again. Why is it important to be able to change the mag well, trigger group and buttstock in the field unless you are sending the soldiers out with a parts kit? I can change out the sighting system on my A3 upper in the field already. You can change the handguards for the...

Nope, that shouldn't even be considered due to the way it skews the data. However, The guy that walks out of a 7-11 and has to fire 3 rounds into a bad guy before he goes down has to be considered of the findings of the study are completely worthless. It's simple logic really. No it isn't...

You have mail on the way. :D

If the soldiers aren't going to be issued the parts then where is the difference between this new system and the old system? I just can't see any real benefit from spending the money when there are so many other things that money needs to go towards.

Battle damage.... So how many trigger groups and magwells are going to be issued to every soldier? If a soldier isn't issued a spare everything I can't see how that's going to help.

To Jeff or anyone else that might know. What were the problems with the G36's in the recent government tests? It would seem like if the G36 was really the best thing since sliced bread it would have beaten out Colt, RRA, and SIG. Another thought, why is so important to have the modularity...

You mean like one of these. http://www.kytac.com/page10.html I use this guys holsters and pistols mag pouches but got creative and made myself one of these. Comes in handy when you have to run off the coyotes at night. :D Back to the original question, I also wear a single mag pouch on...
