Haha, great thoughts. Think about this- we're still bitching and whining about the M16/M4s and trying to upgrade/fix them and how long have they been around?

It's a continuous process, but like you say-- you can't please everyone.

Pete, I agree with what you are saying here.

"its not the age aof a weapon, its the effectiveness that matters"

Very true. However, Americans (like myself) continue to want to embrace new technology and designs as time moves on. Perhaps it's just not time to embrace a new rifle design yet.

Regardless, we Americans pride ourselves with our leading edge defense tech. Don't mind folks who get a little carried away... :)

The interesting question is with ammo - the US moved from 7.62 to 5.56 to reduce the weight load on soldiers but now they keep discussing the lethality of 5.56 and the possibility to move up in caliber.

Sure, most these new ACRs & others have switchable loadouts for different calibers, but you'd want most your forces using the same caliber ammunition so coming to a decision before hand would be nice.

I love the SCAR. Regardless of what the US chooses, gas piston is amazing!

You sum it up perfectly. Although, I would love to see more effort to map any possible patterns of enemy troop movement, etc.
