I know the XM29 is well and truly dead but I thought the XM8 was still alive.
Too bad if it isn't, unlike the XM29 Buck Rodgers Do-it-All gun the XM8 looked reasonable, I even hear they were considering a 6.8mm version and from what I hear it's a pretty nice round.

The XM8 has been canceled and there is a hold on the new small arms trials indefinitly. The Future Combat Pistol was also axed. No multi-caliber requirement was ever specified for the XM8 nor the trials it was entered into after the effective end of the OICW program. Only the SOF SCR and its subsequent outgrowth the SCAR-L/H had multi-caliber requirements.
