next generation grenade launcher

Say hello to the XM25

Hidden or hard-to-reach enemies? The XM25 Grenade Launcher provides a soldier with up to a 500 percent increase in hit probability, and is a lighter and more compact version of its XM29 predecessor. But will this Future Combat Weapon fly? Here's a first look.

Supposed to be the upgrade to the XM29/OICW, but its still plastic. Bigger grenades and a standalone fire system. Still looks like junk to me.

edit: forgot the link heh

Link please? You should always add al ink for others to read what you quote from.

What? Plastic?

Toys are made of plastic!

But it looks alright, I'd love to get some for Christmas !

i saw this weapon and other "new" guns on the milaitry channel. the gun was lighter and the grenade can be made to explode at a distance that is programed into the grenade. it looked and worked. in real war conditions ?

There have been several ATS threads on this

25mm airbursting round

Hope this helps

The XM-8 assualt rifle looks awesome.

I wonder if they are gonna do a shotgun in this style casing too?
