Well by the time the Xm8 was in testing polymers were better at heat resistance. The major issues with the XM8 was its weight and how how hard it was to mitigate issues.
I thought the XM8 was meant to be lighter though đŸ¤”
Guess it wasn't?
it was lighter and that was kind of the problem, it was too light and even in a 5.56 the recoil was beating the shit out of it.
It was still 7 pounds almost the same as a m16 at the time
5.56 recoil beating the shit out of something
That’s funny
^
I can only imagine what it'd be like shooting the PDW XM8 then lol
Had something to do with the internals. The recoil caused them to fail. Its been a while since I even thought about the XM8.
I wonder what Malaysia thinks of the XM8
Since they've been using them for a few years now
The XM8 is a very weird gun
Design wise
I love aesthetics of it personally
It was I never liked it. I was a fan of the Masada. Shame it didn't get full development.
I'm probably biased towards though due it to using it in video games
Shit
In one game the XM8 has less recoil than an M4
That’s funny
Only thing that sucks is that you can't really customize it
But it does come with that nice red dot sight
Well that is videogames I guess. That always bugged me that certian guns had more damage than others...despite using the same caliber.
Same
Yeah the M4 is the weakest 5.56 gun in the multiplayer
Yet the AK 102 and XM8 do more damage despite shooting the same ammo
Let’s be honest. Most games with guns in them the developers are pussies and know very little on guns
Except for like
Yeah I used to play battle field and COD way back in the day, and the M4 was always the weak starter gun and then the M16 was the later game more powerful gun.

@Itcilis In this game I'm speaking of they nerfed the guns for the multiplayer too
Like the P90 was strong in the single player
But in multiplayer it takes like 8-10 body shots to kill someone lol
Damn
@Itcilis not at all really. I know that the Battlefield guys spent a lot of time firing and learning the weapons they used back in I want to say 3 or 4.
Its understandable that they do the varied damage for balanced and fun game play. Otherwise there would be no need for multiple guns.
It's really only good for low recoil easy to spray 1 hit kill headshots
Yeah I know in BF3 they didn't put the M82 for the multiplayer because they didn't know how to balance it
And thought if they tried to it'd suck
So it's only in the single player
BF1 was probably one of my favorite shooters like that
