Development of the complete XM29 (OICW Increment 3) system was shelved, and will be resumed once the OICW Increment 1 and 2 components are developed, and weight constraints of entire system are met.

That doesn't sound very positive to me
If anybody at all wants to wade in with some info it would be appreciated. "research" really eats into the time I have to work on this and I've got a plateful of work on things I know what to do with
We'll make this the " sort out the "future weapons" " thread

The XM29 was split into the M8 Rifle and XM25 (was 20mm now 25mm) GL due to the excessive weight (and R&D problems) of the combined system.
The M8 was later killed entirely and the XM25 we spoke about here.
So as a weapon the XM29 just plain doesn't exist.
