This is what is really confusing about this whole subject. Why would H&K offer two different products for the same market? I understand some of the politics involved but from a business standpoint it is just plain old stupid. Spend all that time and money working on perfecting the XM-8 and then you undercut that project with an improved version of the M-4, which is what most end users seem to prefer. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
