Seriously, its still just a .223, and basically an M-4 platform with piston system. Is cleaning an M-4 so bad that they have to go out an procure a whole new platform?
Not that I don't like this M27.
From what I have read elsewhere, in testing the HK416/M27 had 233 stoppages for 60,000 rounds.
The M4 on the other hand had over 800 stoppages for 60,000 rounds.
