Maybe they might adopt that Bushmaster design or the upgraded SCAR. I read somewhere that the Bushmaster could be made to fire 7.62m or standard NATO rounds. Weren't they also talking about upping the calibre to 6.5mm (Grendel round?) or something?

Here we go, found this on the Bushmaster project. Teaming up with Magpul to produce a weapon named MASADA.

The adoption dates for the next generation of weapons definitely need to be tweaked if nothing else. I think the M25 grenade launcher is still in the mix, though who can be sure at this rate. The Lightweight/Caseless ammo weapons being designed by AAI might be the next logical step, but those might be out of the game's timeline. USSOCOM is also already fielding elements of the Mk 16/17 SCAR-L/H weapon system manufactured by FN. I think the real problem is running out of weapon slots in the OOB to properly reflect the dynamics at the moment. Renaming the XM8 weapon and replacing the OICW weapon with something else, along with modifying the dates, would probably be sufficient.
