Consequently, the M-4 is an unlikely candidate for the rearming of the U.S. Army. It is now viewed as an interim solution until the introduction of a more advanced design known as the Objective Individual Combat Weapon, or OICW.?
The OICW is a G36K with a massive, semi-automatic grenade launcher on top.
It is not the kind of weapon that will replace standard assault rifles any time soon.
