The Gun that Almost Changed the United States Military
This video delves into the intriguing history of the Heckler & Koch XM8, a rifle that, despite never fully entering widespread production, was poised to significantly alter the US military's small arms landscape. The discussion touches on its origins, its relationship to the G36, and its modularity, including the PCAP rail system and optics. The video also explores why the program ultimately failed and draws a correlation to the SIG Sauer SPEAR program.
