The SCAR trashes optics, and most SF units have sent them back-don't want them. It also isn't any more reliable than an M4 according to the guys that use them in high volume.
The HK416 is way front heavy, had a stupid magazine well that prevents use with other mags that are common across the system, and isn't any more reliable.
The ACR is way front heavy.
I like the Colt Monolithic Carbine-just wish it had a longer handguard. There isn't really anything wrong with the M4 as a standard issue service carbine. They need to standardize the Designated Marksman Rifle and work on a new viable, lightweight LMG that doesn't suck like the SAW, that is chambered in something that cuts the mustard. When you see SF guys preferring the M4 over a lot of the new 5.56 systems, but are needing something with more power/energy at distance, but is lightweight without being an optics-destroyer (SCAR-H), there is a void, and that void is the DM Carbine system.
