    Did that once and started receiving spam in my email. It's also deliberately controversial meant to generate traffic and I just don't have the energy for it

    We can do a product improvement (Block-II Type Upper, A5 Receiver Extension and Stock) when replacing components on already worn rifles - keep the lowers that are in spec, etc. - at pretty low cost since replacement parts would be needed anyway, and make actual improvements there.

    In honest terms, the biggest combat advantage we have is that we have the luxury of equipping everybody who will DFL armed with an optic (better than snipers had until post-Korean war times), NVG's and IR Laser/Illuminator (better than anybody had until post-Vietnam war), so the force multipliers are everything but the rifle. That said, there are numerous product improvements that can be made (use the installation of the new M4A1 Colt barrels on M4's as an excuse to drop on DD RIS-2 FSP handguards; Use armory level teardowns to install A5 kits on M16A4's (or even M4's) for improvement in length of pull adjustment.

    The cost for rifle changes are still comparatively small, but unless we're able to stop buying redundant hardware, or junk which makes marginal sense, I'd rather not spend money even on those improvements when there are such bigger fish to fry.

    He doesn't. He's a military scifi author (and a good one). He's combining his service experience with some anecdotes and ancient history. He's neglected to take into account the more recent developments and combat experience of the 21st Century.

    The M4 is the rifle the Army deserves, but not the one it needs.

    Sorry, couldn't help it.
