anyone hear anything about this gun.

The Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) is the lethality element of the Land Warrior program. It is also planned to be fielded as a stand-alone system. The OICW, recently designated as XM29 by the US Army, is a developmental infantry weapon system that will revolutionize the close combat fight by substantially improving the infantry soldier's effectiveness. The XM29's unique, full-solution target acquisition/fire control system combined with precision 20mm air bursting ammunition provide a significant overmatch capability against today's threats, resulting in a dramatic increase in soldier survivability. The XM29 is one of the premier programs within the new Program Manager Soldier Weapons Office in the Program Executive Office Soldier Systems.

Seems they are having some developmental problems with it. The XM-18 is the working result of it's tech trail. We may never see the -29 in it's present config.

Bit ' over designed' isn't it?.. reminds me of the weapons used by the big aliens in the Fifth Element..the ones Gary Oldham gives them..


what's the red button do?...
