So for all intents and purposes, the XM-8 was a G36 futuristicalized (word?). If you ever import G36 semi-autos (past those pesky German export laws) or somehow convince RCMP that HK243 should not be prohibited when G36 semi-autos in the country are non-restricted, you will have a lot of orders from dealers around Canada :D
Also interesting was that all the modular stuff started off the XM-8 program according to that video. That was the genesis of the idea.

That's awesome. It was an experimental rifle developed for replacement for the M16/M4. It was canceled after years of R&D with the loss financially falling on HK of course to help them on the way to bankruptcy (see also G11, same thing happened). At best you can have Tommy convert an SL8 to an XM8 but the cost and red tape to have that done for you in the US will be epic.
