Back to full auto--that will be fun. Part of the reason the M16 went from full auto to the M16A2 with 3-round burst was because Soldiers were using lots of ammo without hitting more targets. It looks like a different battlefield has changed that demand.

I'm sure that will help things.
They can't hit shit anyway so just throw more lead down range and maybe one of them will get lucky....

Blah, blah, blah
Now they have a heavier barrel?
That just makes them less deadly. MD tells me so.

Meh
Did I miss where they explained how this carbine will "more quickly identify" from the 1st paragraph?

As is oft the case, AR buyers seek out the closest civilian legal analogue of the standard military issue AR. If the Army's now opting for a heavier barrel (which makes alotta sense in terms of increased stability/more efficient heat dissipation), HBARs may soon become the new Black, which'll make the heads of Maryland's anti-gun Nancy-boy ruling classes', who relied on HBAR requirement as a form of legislative harassment, collective heads explode.

I saw that as well. Still does not make sense.
FVCK, military using Hbars now, we are screwed in MD.

new thought pattern will be that heavy barrel = full auto
We got a good sized lot of these while I was in Korea in 2015. I shot one at the range twice and went back to my M16A4/ TA31.

In 2003 I was working at a facility in Va. and I spent weeks removing 3-round burst from guns and putting A2 guts back into them. The full auto part is not really a new upgrade. Damn, has it really been 14 years?! Holy crap!

I am wondering if they are going to be using a Socom profile "heavy" or a Colt HBAR "heavy"?
Big difference but I cannot imagine them using an actual Colt style 6721 barrel for instance.
SOCOM.
