You guys just watch. This thing will run it's course, and eventually some guy will come up with a "New Concept Rifle" capable of amazing feats of physics; a superb man-stopper at close and long range, accurate, reliable, easy to maintain, reasonable weight... and it will be a Scout length M-14. Hey, it was a fantastic weapon that never got the opportunity to prove itself before the propeller heads came up with the -16.
