XM8 auto

[@flatbob123]

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

Ik Right you should see the XMB LMG

[@tylersmith3139]

Modern rifles are better, but for the time, this was up there.

[@pokerus230]

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

[@firestorm1579]

@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.

[@raymondyee2008]

Instant “Conflict Global Storm” vibes.

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

[@fanofCOH]

@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.

[@BlackOps78321]

@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"

[@aidanfranklin3574]

I'ma gonna necro thread this video, who's here? I love this gun to this day, and hope I can one day afford to have Tommy Tactical make one for me using SL8 parts.

[@mtdewramen]

I love German engineering.

[@0mgwtfbbq21]

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

[@Cr1m3sFan]

Amazing

[@epicduckeh6]

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

[@djorourke94]

every1 already knows that. no spoiler at all.

[@TehBloodyYank556]

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

[@DudeInWalmart]

no failure and the two rifles work the same way.

[@djorourke94]

no.... the government signs a contract with the gun company. (this one being colt)

[@KoolMB]

sweet!

[@thecrazygene1]

sounds like an automatic sniper :P ...imagine a sniper with a red dot sight would be amazing

[@theone031]

@IamaRifle Someone knows about vietnam!

[@BillJobs01]

im going auto....

[@salmon_lover09]

I like guns

[@iNtErNeTLAMA12]

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

[@The4321kp]

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

[@360Nomad]

@theMIGHTYloaf Is the M16A2 a lot better?

[@Guntaku_Gaijin]

i though the a4 was made by armalite not colt

[@paintballgunny]

id still rather use a m16 or m4

[@Carbonite2008]

it was becuase they couldn't meet the requirements they set out for themselves m8.

[@gforce9009]

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

[@CloudMcFoxx]

Who cares about the M16? XM8 FTW!!!

[@richardorosco807]

im the newest comment here, so, hi !!!

[@ProbMaster-r9z]

No I am! hi

[@thecrazygene1]

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

[@theMIGHTYloaf]

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

[@legitgod9201]

sad it got discontinued

[@Randomly_Browsing]

Well not really

[@leosilv4616]

Free fire 😂

[@dan_mat4536]

🐒🐁?

[@BlackOps78321]

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.

[@cartmanbra6112]

Moin

[@vetrix]

are these still made?

[@brucewayan8861]
