[quote="Sgt Stryker":5b1c2]even with the 5.56mm round it would be effective if they kept a longer barrel.
I read somewhere that the rifle barrel is 2" shorter than an M-4 barrel, so accuracy probably goes out the window beyond 300 meters.[/quote:5b1c2]

the oicw is suposed to sport some fancy electronic aiming system, infared/night vision scope and the ability to fire 20 mm smart he rounds...its definitly going to be better then its only real rival the hk g36.
