^ "The US Army has given approval for the formal acquisition programme of its next generation infantry weapon. The army gave a team headed by Alliant Techsystems (ATK) a $95 million contract for programme definition and risk-reduction (PDRR) of the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), fielding of which is expected to begin in Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09)"

Wondering if any of you been able to "play" around with the m29 before you left the service, allthough it says it will begin to be used in 2009, was wondering if anybody has seenm around.
(when I told my rec' about wanting to join the Infantry, he showed me a notebook full of Infantry type pictures, including pictures of the OICW/M29.)
Slip away.
