We still use the M4 Carbine (a shorter variation of the M16). The M16 is a light, dependable, versatile weapon, as is the M4 Carbine. Bushmaster is just a civilian maker of the same thing, same round, same everything pretty much of the M16 and M4. The just call their rifles different things, but they have the same rifling, powder, and weight/size of bullet. I have used a couple of H&K sub-machine guns that I believe the US will be giving to certain Infantry, Cavalry Scouts, Armor crewmen, and Special Operations soldiers. Dont want to divulge too much, but there is also a new weapon that we were testing about 6 months ago. Its a 7.62X54 that shoots Semi-Auto, 3 round burst, Full Auto, and also has an adjustable sensitivity trigger mechanism with rail system for "long range" scope shots....All that and it weighs just a little bit less than the standard M16!

The military or government rarely change fast......since the m16 is still doing the job and is a light weight rifle and accurate. I do think they are looking at a new gas piston type m16 that keeps the dirt and hot gas out of the chamber which is my main beef.

They are a far better alternative. N - Why would we be using a Russian cartridge, when .308 and .30-06 are better rounds, more common, and already in widespread use? I have a hard time believing that the Govt would switch to an inferior and little used caliber. Are you sure it isn't 7.62x51?

Didn't you see "Starship Troopers". That rifle is bad asss, but they need better ammo. It took like 300 rds to take out 1 bug. Good thing they never had to change magazines.
