We should shut down these idiotic small weapons projects. The DOD isn’t going to select any of the outcomes of whatever testing they use.

Colt already has the contracts wired and the skids greased in Congress. Unless and until someone puts Colt out of business (and they deserve to be put out of business), we’re not moving away from the M16/M4 or the 5.56 NATO round.

Just yesterday I read a report that Remington has received a contract to make new M4s.
