They did.
We call it the M-240b
If the USMC wanted an improvement to the M-249 maybe they should have gone to the MK48 instead.
All they did was buy a new battle rifle that fires full auto.
They could have pulled a bunch of old M-16A1's out of mothballs and would have nearly the exact same capability.
If the claim against an M-16/M-4 on full auto is a poor gas system, then they should have just stuck with the SAW, or traded up to the MK48.
Frivolous expenditure of taxpayer money.
...just my two cents.
