Default The Glory Might of the XM29.

This thing:



Is the XM29. A piece of shit gun that has a big, stupid computer scope on the top and a airburst grenade launcher on the bottom. It also has a assault beneath the grenade launcher.

This thread is dedicated to the single biggest military waste of American Tax Dollars in the History of the US Military. Other than nukes and chemical Weapons.

This thread is where we all shake our mighty, pissed off conservative fists at the stupidity of the US Military.

What pisses me off is that the South Korean Army is issuing some XM29 rip-off in 2010. I Mean, Come On!

Well at least NORTH Korea isn't issueing them.

I thought the project had potential if they could have shrunk it down to the smaller model as seen on the Mail Call page. But they gave up early in the game.

They are only issuing those to the Grenadiers to replace the M203s the South Korean copy of the M203.

If the DPRK was issueing them we should be happy. They would be easy to waste.

Also, that one in Mail Call was a mockup.

I know, but that was what they were hoping to build in the future.

I thought that concept seemed interesting.

Interesting as laser weapons. We need that witty british guy here to make fun of this gun, Vangelis.

I dunno man, if Daewoo's rifles are anything like their pistols, I wouldn't hold my breath.

The XM29 was a good idea that technology hasn't yet matured enough to make practical. Give it time, it'll reappear.
