The XM8 is back, but not in the way you might remember it
A military rifle from the past has resurfaced. The XM8, initially designed to replace the M4 carbine, was canceled but its concept lives on. It influenced a new carbine version, linked to the M7.
Details about this development are limited, but it is known that the M7 has faced criticism, particularly regarding its weight. For more information on the XM8's revival and the M7, readers can refer to the original source, which provides further context and background on the military's adoption of new weaponry.
