I like how when they ask about the enemy getting a hold of them they say they don't have the batterys or ammo for it. That never happens in war.

Is your post is even less applicable than mine? Yes it is. Thought so.... (insert snide comment here.)
On topic, I wonder where the new weapon will be used in the military structure. Will it be a heavy weapons squad type of thing like the 240 and javelein? Or will it be like the saw, with 2 per squad?

Re: XM 25 in Afghanistan
At the price of those weapons, they will be highly desired by the opfor. Perhaps being the gunner with that weapon could be a two edged sword...you got the baddest rifle on the field, but all the opfor wants to kill you..even worse than the commo guy or SAW gunner.
