XM25 could be “good enough” for use in some kind of adventure park but virtually useless everywhere else. See post 928 on Roles and Weapons with the Squad.
That first niche would require prompt supply of spare rifles, carbines and attachments to replace those damaged or wrecked delivering volley fire during operations, and earlier in range practice and field exercise ?
What useful niches (other than salvo line throwing) are left when a section/squad typically has hand grenades, UGLs and demo charges plus Armbrust, M-72 or suchlike; and when a modern platoon can have a 60mm handheld mortar (issued or attached) and also one or more 40mm MGLs ?
