You know whats ironic about this. If the US Military had done this we would still be several YEARS from those rifles being in the field.

Oi! Tommy! That's me rifle you got there.

Where is Sgt. Sharpe when you need him?

I wonder if they'll embrace the P-Mag? That top mount RDS needs to find a new home, maybe the DD offset mount. I can see them finding the need for a variable optic, as the 6x ACOG is limiting. Otherwise, I want one.

Same with the multicam uniforms (officially their own MC based pattern). How long was it after they started looking into it before they made the announcement that they were going to the MC? Something like 4 months IIRC. And they are already fielded as well.
