Well, I'd better explain it here.
That gun is not some cheap toy. It is cheap as far as money comes, but it is VERY powerfull. The M-4 has a life of about 14,000 rounds of ammunition. The M8 has a life of 20,000. And they fired the M-8 15,000 times without it jamming once.
The gun can also be dissasembled with no tools...oh, and btw, the only plastic part is the covering. The rest is all gun metal. The gun can also be turned into a 12 guage shotgun with no tools. IN THE FIELD.
It can also be converted into different versions with no tools. Like a sharpshooter varrient, shotgun, a close quarters varient and carbine. It is basicly the first 'battle rifle' to be successfull.It also can use the upcoming M320 40mm single shot grenade launcher.
It also, thanks to modern materials, weighs only six pounds. So you can easily have two of them in each hand. Plus the recoil is almost un-noticable. Making it even more accurate then it allready is.
Best damn gun to come out of the techies ass, if you ask me. As far as standard infantry weapons go.
