Oh. em. gee. I can't take it anymore! I can't belive that they'd cancel something so sexy, uber and fantastically brilliant! God damn those freakin budget cuts... (we lost the RAH-66 Comanche on that boat too..)

If our damn military would just stick with a project, we'd be near freakin invincible! But no, we're still using the M4's and the M16's (which are really nice guns, don't get me wrong) when we could have weapons light years ahead of them. Sure, we're using other weapons too, but they're nothing compare to what we've tested and cancelled for no apparent reason other than a budget cut! Pfft...

Anyway, this is the XM8. The result of US military and H&K cooperation. Its a lightweight assault rifle that's superior in every way to the standard weapons we use today. Funny part is: we cancled it in 2005. Not only does it perform much better, it looks sexy as hell =P The damn thing was going to be the replacement for the old M16's :S

I won't go into super-rant mode, but I just wanna point out that this gun was an extremely versatile weapon; there's multiple variants and attachments. Like as shown. The one being used on the bottom is a marksman variant, while the one on the top is a Carbine with a 40mm grenade launcher. I mean hell, this thing even had a SAW configuration.

Lol, but I could go on all day with this. Just had to get that out there =P

Aw, the XM-8 got cancelled??? Damn... :(

That is a cool gun, though. My brother has an airsoft version of it. :D

You ever watch Future Weapons on the Discovery Channel?
