"Considering the long standing reliability and lethality problems with the M16 design, of which the M4 is based, I am afraid that our troops in combat might not have the best weapon," Coburn wrote in April.

Other than the SCAR-H and the 417 what makes the XM-8, the 416, and SCAR any more lethal than the M-4 and the M-16? I can understand crowing about reliability but why bring up lethality when those rifles will be firing the same rounds out of the same length barrels?
