Any idea of the scale of issue. They mention it being organic to the platoon; only one per, do we think?

Now, Infantry Brigade Combat Teams in the U.S. Army and National Guard will receive these weapons at a rate of 27 per brigade, or one per platoon of 40 soldiers

Depends on the role of Reconnaissance vehicles are. Are they they to carry our Recce or are they there to fight? If it is the former, light weapons to defend themselves is all that is required. If the latter, what is the difference between their vehicles and the standard infantry/armoured vehicles? None, I would suggest nor is there much difference in how they are employed.

I worried about the device that increases the cognitive process. Don't let them use that BEFORE they sign up for the infantry.

I'd have an "Urban Street Sweeper" edition with a mini-gun. :eek:

The direct/area effect weapon sounds a lot like the Denel project to create a belt-fed weapon using the 20mm PAW ammo, which is basically standard 20mm cannon projectiles in a short, light, straight-walled case. Of course, the U.S. Military would never adopt such a simple, straightforward solution.

The lightweight .50 cal seems like déjà vu all over again to me. Didn't GD already build a LW50MG, the XM806?
