Interesting enough. Looks like the AAI entry into the Advanced Combat Rifle program around the same time.
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
I think the Colt ACR entry that fired the Duplex Round had these incorporated into the design
My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.
Colt ACR concept from back in the day:
"There is no nice way to arrest a potentially dangerous, combative suspect. The police are our bodyguards; our hired fists, batons and guns. We pay them to do the dirty work of protecting us. The work we're too afraid, too unskilled, or too civilized to do ourselves. We expect them to keep the bad guys out of our businesses, out of our cars, out of our houses, and out of our faces. We just don't want to see how its done."
-Charles H. Webb, Ph.D.
I guess the "thumb over bore" technique wouldn't work with these rifles.
Very interesting! Makes me glad red dot sights were developed.
