My guess is that they'll adopt a 416 variant service wide at some point, which would be great because that will probably mean that 416 will have to give up some patents. Just speculation.
I meant "we" the citizens of the US, and I mean something truer to the 416 than the MR556. I think our military is doing fine with the current M4 platform. Special dudes already have 416s and "gotta be different" branches already have their "other than M4" rifle. Marines ran the M16A4 for a long damn time so they probably earned their M27.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
