I've heard nothing but positive reviews from all quarters, especially from the Marine Weapons Officers (aka Gunners). Each time I had the chance to play with it, I've been very impressed with its accuracy, portability, and craftsmanship. It's new and built to tight tolerances, so no rattle yet.

Considering its desired role, it is a win thus far. Those who say they "miss the heavier firepower of the SAW" really have no idea what they are talking about, in my opinion, and if they are infantrymen then they are likely bad at that job.
Only thing I'd gripe about is the magazine size. Has there been any more talk of a drum or double stack sir? My company tried buying a few 60 rounders from Surefire, but ran into a money/bureaucracy issue.
