But I have a distinct feeling it's inevitable now; like an earlier poster said, the politicos want to get something out of the whole OICW debacle.
At least the XM-8 is a good start in making new items lighter, rather than heavier (although, it's probably because it's a snubbie).

The Ordnance people want to get something out of the OICW debacle. Fortunately, the proponent agency for small arms is the Infantry Board. I doubt the XM-8 is going to make it to widespread adoption.
