What I said is true and I burned more ammo this week than you have this year. Today even. If you are sooo intelligent why not explain how 50 rounds is better than 200? The X will disappear as soon as the weapons are issued. We spent 4.7 billion on this project and you can bet they will be issued. By the way if you cannot actually be part of a discussion, make any points or support your position you can decide not to participate.Just quit bro. You don't know what you are talking about and you know jack about MGs and less about Army Acquisition. Even Wikipedia has a pretty good few pages you could go to and read on both subjects so it sounds kinda like you know. It's XM250...X=Experimental...designation for a development project. Now that it's adopted, it will become the M250 by dropping the X, the rifle will be the M5.
I thought maybe you knew what you were talking about but it's obvious you just copied and pasted words to sound like you do. You're spewing word salad and now trying to justify yourself with "more 5.56" rounds in my lifetime and whatever else. It's laughable. I would still like to know when the last time you carried a machinegun into anywhere and placed it into operation since you're a walking FM 23-67.
