But a similar weapon is already in production. Why bother re-inventing the wheel?
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

I suppose it would be cheaper upgrading existing GPMG's to that version than buying Mk 48's.Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

Oh, and incase you didn't notice, there is no frontsight, and the backsight is unusable due to the rail. So if your nice gucci optical sight stops working or gets smashed, you're pretty screwed.
I like the improved gas regulator though, not as many small parts to lose.

If it is a foresight, there must be some way of removing the rail & using the iron sights."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."
