[QUOTE="jose basualdo, post: 239052, member: 3884"] Primero que nada buenas tardes, me llamo jose basualdo, hace tiempo que vengo leyendo este topic y hay un par de cosas que me gustaria agregar a la discusion En mayo del 2007 salio un articulo en el Jane's Defence Weekly que decia que el USMC estaba buscando reemplazar la M-249 por lo que ellos llamaban el Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR) que no es ni mas ni menos que un m4 con canon pesado y bipode que usa los mismos cargadores que el m4, con lo cual, se estaria volviendo al concepto del FAP. Si bien solo los marines cursaron este pedido de reemplazo a mi me parece que muestra una tendencia que sumada a la idea de cambiar el 5,56 por 6,8 a nivel de peloton va aterminar con algo bastante parecido en concepto al FAP ( un M4 con canon pesado, bipode y cargador de 30 tiros). La nota original (en ingles): Jane's Defence Weekly, 30/5/07: The USMC is seeking an Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR) to replace the M249 SAW. Lt Col Tracy Tafolla, project manager infantry weapons for USMC Systems Command, stated that a capabilities document outlining the requirements was expected to be issued within the next four to six weeks. The new weapon would be chambered in 5.56mm and would provide enhanced accuracy and reliability over the M249. Initial operating capability is expected in first quarter of 2009 FY.
