When i went through MOUT training at mct it was always prefered to send in the A4's and M4's. Even the A4 is completely unpractical with its 20 inch barrel but they still have em clearing buildings.
We do still have the M240b but thats not always readily available at a team level. Sometimes not even the squad level. It just sucks to see them invest so much money on a weapon system that doesn't make sense as a replacement SAW. We only receive 8.8% (last time i checked i could be wrong) of the entire defense budget, so if this doesn't work out it makes a big impact.
