-
this is better -
Hmmmz...the recoil of the XM8 seems to be very powerful as compared to our SAR21 and M16.Just a question,is the XM8 using 5.56mm ammo or wat?

Surprise to see sure strong recoil from xm8.
The US seem to flavor it as it can have part taken out and switch to configurate it - from a full rifle to sub-machine gun, carbine .....etc to suit the situation. Well not too good as you are issue with more parts to look after, maybe the US think that their soldiers alway after one mission can go back to camp sort out the parts and change. In other countries we don't have that luxury.
Also change configuration will soon or later make things loose and affect the aiming and zeroing ! -
Well i think the made it like that so it's cheaper in the long run to maintain the spares and production. In terms of issuing the other parts i believe it will be a case by case baseOriginally posted by storywolf:Surprise to see sure strong recoil from xm8.

the new XM-8 from Heckler & Koch
SAR 21 Singapore

the XM8 so far uses the 5.56 M855 ammo, there is talk that they maybe rechamber for the 6.8mm SPC .
However, there is also talk that they are opening the rifle competition to other makers since the SCAR is being adopted by the SOCOM forces.
I have shot the closest to the XM8 which is the Heckler and Koch G36, it handles very similar to a AR-18. the recoil is not much more than the AUG , M16 or the SIG-550! it is however very annoying on the cocking handle! it flaps in the middle of the rifle !
the ability to modulized the weapon system makes logistics much easier, SPEc ops, normal infantry and others can all use same type of weapon systems. Like the AUG< you can switch out barrel like out Ultimax 100, can easily convert a SAW to a rifle to a SMG! all by just swaping parts!
