Word up a timely hoot

OG Ra Ra Riot fans

2021 anyone?

Definitely the most underrated band I know

In the vietnam era was when it was a failure. They literally handed them the rifle saying it cleaned itself and when it jammed they didn't know how to clean it. They werent taught how

no failure and the two rifles work the same way.

@Xiolablu3 They obviously could tweak and fix this weapon, but it is still a worsened baby of the G36. This weapon looks like star-ship troopers and might fix some problems of the over 10 year old M4/M16s, but they are still dwarfed by the ACRs (SCAR, Bushmaster) and the other ACR configuration type weapons such as the HK416 which fix all the old problems as well as enhance other aspects while retaining the same parts and look. So, good choice they made. "Sry, no pretty gun for u boy"

This gun melts under sustained fire and becomes useless. I hate all the internet fanboys who say "Wow why isn't this replacing the M16?" just because they think it looks cool.

@theMIGHTYloaf that wasn't the rifle's fault. they needed to use the right ammo instead of the cartriges w/ "dirty powder" in it.

@flatbob123 sry i accedently voted ur comment down i ment to thumbs it up mouse slipped

@theMIGHTYloaf Is the M16A2 a lot better?

I swear they need to get this project back up and running. The XM8 is such a beautiful rifle.

WHY DID THIS HAVE TO GO OVER THE BUGET? xm8 is way better than the m16

I wanna be that Cello *.*

@theMIGHTYloaf The problem was not the gun.The ammo they used to test the gun and run stress tests was not the same type of ammo used out on the field.That was the prob.

They canceled the production to get the US army to adopt the xm8 in 2005 it either originated in Germany or the US

Who cares about the M16? XM8 FTW!!!

@theMIGHTYloaf I think we already get that 48 year old gun is a fail

@theMIGHTYloaf so its not the m16 itself, it was the bullets, therefore you are contradicting your own statement

@theMIGHTYloaf The m16 was the complete failure. The A1 was the replacement. It's also when they switched from stick to ball powder.

@MetalGrim93 DIDNT MEAN TO OFFEND U BRO, I WAS REFERING TO THE PROCURMENT MENTALITY. THE MARINES STEPPED, HELD A COMETITION FOR THEIR IAR AND THE HK 416 WON OUT AGAINST EVEN THE SCAR. THEY HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED IN LIMITED NUMBERS FOR FIELD TRIALS, BUT BASICALLY IT GOT THE 416 INTO THE DOOR WITH THE REG FORCES INSTEAD OF JUST DELTA AND SPEC OPS. HOPEFULLY, THE MILITARY SMARTENS UP AND REPLACES THE M4 WITH THE 416 IN EVERY BRANCH.

@MetalGrim93 NOT IRRELEVANT AT ALL. JUST SHOWS THE MENTALITY OF THE ARMY VS THE MARINES. IF THE ARMY STUCK TO THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT THIS MAGNIFICIENT WEAPON WOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF OUR TROOPS INSTEAD OF THE M4A1. THE MARINES AT LEAST GOT THIER HEADS PARTIALLY OUT OF THIER ASSES AND PURCHASED THE HK416 TO REPLACE ITS CURRENT IAR'S. ALL IM SAYIN IS GETTING THE BEST SYSTEM FOR THE TROOPS TO FIGHT WITH, WITHIN ECONOMIC MEANS IS PARAMOUNT. THE M16/M4 DONT CUT IT.

@MetalGrim93 WISH IT WAS FICTION, BUT THATS THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION OUR BOYS DEAL WITH. THIS GUN WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING PIECE OF KIT, BUT IT DIDNT MEET THE DESIGNATED WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS AND WAS SCRAPPED, OR PUT ON HOLD. RIGHT NOW THE BEST 5.56 OUT THERE IS THE 416, HANDS DOWN. EASE AND FAMILIARITY OF USE, RELIABILTY AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE IS UNMATCHED BY ANYTHING EXCEPT THE XM8. HELL THEY COME FROM THE SAME COMPANY FOR GOD SAKES, H&K.

THE XM8 IS A GOOD GUN, BUT THE ARMY SHOULD HAVE ADDOPTED THE HK416 WHEN IT WAS CANCELLED, JUST LIKE HOW THE MARINES HAVE WITH THE IAR. Y IS THE CORPS SO MUCH SMARTER THAN THE ARMY, AND GET THE BEST WEAPONS FOR THEIR SOLDIERS THAN THE ARMY DOES. HONESTLY, ITS LIKE THEY SEND U INTO COMBAT WITH A JAMMING NONE WORKING RIFLE AND ALL UR LEFT TO FIGHT THE ENEMY IS WITH UR DICK IN UR HANDS. GREAT. GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!!!

@IamaRifle Someone knows about vietnam!

im going auto....

yeah dude M-16A1 was garbage it jamed all the time got alot of people killed cause of it to

are these still made?

@theMIGHTYloaf no, you can thank the government for that fault powder. when the gun was designed, it was actually built around a cleaner, more refined powder, but the government went cheap and used cheap stuff thus making the already built and designed gun, essentially a walking jam. however, improvements were made fast, and the m16a1 became a formidable weapon.

I LOVE THIS SONG ! :D great job .

@NEIK91 you think the enemy doesnt find you with a sniper without red dot sight...damnnn such stupid comments on youtube

"Thank you for being here. Beautiful.. What IS that thing?" Great song, great band.

id still rather use a m16 or m4

Most people don't know but the m16a1 was a complete failure. It used powder that left residue and jammed often. The m16a2 is what most people think of when they think m16

What stupid people who think they know everything by playing video games don't know is that the m4 is just a shorter barreled m16 and the m16 is the official weapon of the us army, not the m4, it's a patrol weapon. Learn something you knowitall failures!!!
