    Aimpoint M4S- Because your next Aimpoint battery hasn't been made yet.

    We're happy to have our gear on the guns, even if they might technically be "competition". As long as the winner is chosen based on their product's performance instead of politics, I'm happy. This should be very interesting...

    But there was also an undercurrent of skepticism by many small-company officials who wondered if the Army’s process would treat them fairly and not favor larger small-arms companies the service has dealt with in the past, said several individuals who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution.

    When asked about this concern, PEO soldier commander Brig. Gen. Peter Fuller said “it’s better to be fair like this through the whole process. We are going to have another industry day; we have the big guys, but we want to see more small guys because small guys can come up with these great new and innovative ways to deal with things.”
    Meaning:

    "We will see all the great stuff the smaller companies offer, then have the big, in-bed company(ies) copy it, then give them the contract."

    Thanks for posting that, Katar. I am wondering why Colt hasn't entered their piston.

    I'd wager that they saw no significant advantage of the piston system over the DI.
