Looks like we have a new rifle from HK to replace the M4.

"According to AFCEA (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association), the USMC “will be purchasing up to 15,000 M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles (IAR) and spare parts from Heckler and Koch "

I would have thought it would take more than 15,000 gunz to replace our M4s.

Are we fixing to quit issuing rifles to the Infantry?

I thought this thing was more of a SAW replacement? One per squad type deployment. But I dunno.
