Why do you think the Army has spent billions on next-generation thermal and night optics for light infantry units like the 101st, 10th mtn, and 82nd airborne?
All that is going to matter in the next conflict is the amount, quality, and redundancy of information provided to an infantry soldier.
Following that, the ability to effectively engage at the distances at which squad or platoon-level elements are able to generate that actionable information (visual confirmation, location, direction, composition, disposition, etc, which is now 1000s of meters for even an average squad equipped with current-generation magnified thermals and night optics) is a necessity.
The M4 is not capable of doing that. This rifle and accompanying SAW are. That's the explanation, that's all you need to know.
There's never an ill word spoken of SOCOM on this board and what are they doing?
The only american troops you have seen in combat in the past 5 years are SOCOM and all they do is direct action hitman missions. This is giving everyone a completely skewed perspective as to the doctrine and mission of the regular army, which does not correlate with SOCOM units whatsoever.
