I've been reading, or hearing, about a replacement for the M4 since I was a 2nd LT. Back then, the Army had just begun to mass issue the M4 vs the M16, but there was talk about getting a different, more realiable weapon system and ammunition even back then. Now a field grade officer, I truly believe that I will not see an issued replacement (to the Army at large) while I'm in active service.
