I don't care what it costs. If it can do what it claims, DO WANT!

It's not a battle rifle, so it's not a competitor for the M-4. It's a competitor for the M-203 grenade launcher and the M-60 Squad Automatic Weapon.

I doubt it will replace an M60 as it appears to have a limited magazine capacity and therefore could not lay down suppressive fire in any great volume...but in the scenario described it will indeed be a game changer. I would LOVE to see the face of the first Talibani sniper who meets this little jewel!!!

Good luck - It'll be all over the ground around the rest of him.
