I think the XM8 is really promising. The m-16 has been ready for retirement for too long. Just post your thoughts.

If you will remember, the M-16 was not exactly accepted with open arms because it looked like a cheap plastic toy. It has now reached the pinnacle of it's developement and XM8 seems like an excellent replacement. It is lighter than a similarly equiped M-16 due to the polymer frame among other assets. If you think plastic is inferior to metal, let us not forget the Glock line of pistols!
I do agree that it looks a little dumb, but I hope the Military isn't choosing weapons based on asthetics. The pic is of the carbine model.Check out this
