I think that newer weapons like the IWI Tavor are a better design. And more in tune with the type of combat we do now. We do long range shooting but then have to close quarters combat. Thus a bullpup makes sense. The Tavor needs to barreled in 6.5 Grendel, of course, to really maximize its potential.
There is some thought of making this into a weapons system. Thus a longer barrel and good optics could make the rifle function as a DMR. In full auto it could be an IAR. But take the action and put into an upper for the M4 and you have a good DMR in 6.5mm. Or on a M4 lower with a belt fed upper and you have a SAW. Sort of like the IWI Negev.
