New Marine Corps weapon to replace SAW

[LRRPF52]

I'm thinking of manned robots like Mech Warrior, but politicians will jump at the chance to go the way of unmanned ground mobility walkers. The components for the technology are there, but the restraints on power sources will limit combat radius, even though we could have indefinite combat radius with advanced motors using electronic controls of rare earth magnets.

I just imagine being able to run over terrain like that in Afghanistan, with integrated thermal/IR surround vision, with active camouflage, hunting down man-dress wearers where they sleep.
