Ah, the return (again) of the late and unlamented OICW.
What a POS. Low lethality when compared to the 40mm, unless the round detonates in the barrel, like it did with the test weapons, and injures the shooter.
Tell you what, you take the XM25 for $35,000 and I'll take an M79 or M203 with $34,000 worth of ammo to train with and we'll see which is more effective in the end.
Especially when you find out how much the battery pack weighs and how long it lasts.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
