SCAR ftw.
Wasn't suggesting there was. Trying to change the way the gov't is like trying to jump into space, from the surface of Earth. Before you barely get off, gravity pushes your arse right back down to where it was before.Quote:

Speaking of contracts and new weapons and such, what DID happen with the SCAR? Last time I heard it was selected as the winner of the new-rifle challenge thing, was selected to become the main service weapon, then it was dropped, then picked up by USSOCOM or w/e, and then dropped again, and then the Rangers picked it up or something.
Where does it stand now? Will it become the next general-service rifle? It should.
It was so awesome that the gov't didn't want anyone to have it in fear of a single enemy soldier getting their hands on one :snypa:
I think SOCOM is dropping the mk 16 entirely and only putting in orders for the mk 17
How long before this weapon gets implanted into a COD game?
3 months when the modern warfare 3 trailer hits YouTube...
And the American armed services have a TERRIBLE record of implementing new weapons. I think one of the brass must be relate to Samuel Colt or something.
Why is this in Tech-Talk? It's clearly Off-Topic.
guns = technology.
