Hello!This is Jagoff's son.The XM8 can do nothing that the M16/M4A1 cannot do.It is front heavy, the sights suck(not personal experience,people who tried it said so) and if anyone complains about velocity from an M4 barrel(14.5 inches) WTF makes the people at HK think 12 inches is better?!The marines just bought alot of brand new M16A4s.The XM8 to me is a lost cause.WOW, its 1 pound lighter.The people at HK realized this and made a M4 with a normal gas system.Even with a Vltor light stock it is still front heavy and as heavy as a Colt 20" HBar(8 lbs).In fact I heard one person in the army is field testing the XM8.He don't like it.Sorry for the rant,just thought you might like to hear the XM8 progress.Not meaning to make anyone mad,or be respectful to anyone.
Thanks for reading,Tyler
