Wow thats dumb! Replacing SAWs with any kinda rifle will effectively neuter the squads fire power. Ghay.
No mag fed can do the job of a belt gun.

I'm no military guy, but having to swap out mags just like everyone else??? How does that give an advantage?
So that particular soldier will have to carry 30 or 40 mags now?
Seems weird
Oddly enough, a Dane was telling me that they were looking at procuring either Minimis or MG43s to replace their own Automatic Rifles with a beltfed. Huh.

what happened to that m4 version that fired from a closed bolt for semi and an open bolt for full auto?
you cannot have a support weapon being fed through 30rnd mags...it just doesn't work!
The 2 C9's in an infantry section provide 60-70% of the firepower because they can sustain their rate of fire. You'd have to be using those funky "snail" magazines, or else your gunners are going to be carrying 20mags each just to get a standard battle load...let along what the rest of the section will have to carry to support it...
That being said, I WANT ONE!

massive speculation
The automatic rifle is a failed concept, but if I had to choose:

The M249 / C9 was Ok. It will keep the enemy's arses down.

But for real fire power I rather be supported by the C6 / GPMG. I know it's 7.62 but my old school teaching was to create as much damage to the enemy. IMO hit them hard - that's the way to do it. :

Because the Marine Corp's wants a Lighter Squad Automatic Rifle to be feed from a Drum Magazine or standard magazine only they have run this competitions trial for several years but everything they have tested to date has failed .
