I tried to respond once but it didn't take so here goes again.

They had the OICW(objective individual combat weapon) and its big
brother (OCSW) at the "KNOX summer arms fest" (Armor Conference).

The display had a video of the airburst round and a current issue
(not the high speed ranger vest) PAGST(?) kevlar vest. From a height
of 8 ft it hit the vest 38 times, and "hole'd" it 32. Now you have
much more experience than I do in the testing/acquisitions dept. so I
will defer the bogus test results opinion. They also say that the KE
weapon (5.56mm) will be accurate to 1000m with the sight. laff. That
has to get quite a few long rifle experts a little miffed.

However, yes that bad boy would be a lugg. It also seems that the
army is scraping the "Land Warrior" program, or at least revamping
it. Something to do with batteries not lasting and the helmet/ruck
combo not letting you to lift your head while prone. aahhh
progress.....

The OCSW is a 25mm and will replace the M-2 and the Mk-19....we'll
see.
