Under adverse conditions they did not perform better than the standard.
The handguard PiP is still ongoing with the first part of testing completing soon.
Ah, I thought when they killed the BCG group portion they had killed the entire program more or less. I didn't realize they were still working on the handguards as I hadn't heard anything about them recently. My apologies.
