Exactly.
First the OICW tanks, and rightfully so, after many millions of dollars.
Then they try and foist the XM-8 on us.
Now the top half is offered seperately, the XM-25.
None of this shit is ready for prime time, or represents an improvement, pound for pound, or dollar for dollar, over what we already have. Just defense companies trying to get rich off the government.
The XM-25 munition is unreliable, undersized, and lacks lethality, except for the shooter.
