I've seen a few interviews with US former SF who have tried it, they pretty much all see it as a return to the "Battle" rifle days and expect it to be relegated to the DMR role sooner rather than later.
It's interesting isn't it, my point being we aren't in any crashing hurry with our A3 rebuilds. We can see how the land lies in 2030.
AR variants have long been the staple of our SF community, they are now being procured for the Royal Marines and Rangers and I would expect the Parachute Regiment to follow.
On the subject of AR's, I've some familiarity with the platform, but haven't looked at Knight Armament examples, having done a little research on them over the weekend, they do look to be really excellent platforms, the ultimate gas imprisonment variants, apparently capable of sub MOA accuracy too!
Sub MOA accuracy as delivered is quite the claim from a battle rifle and I would like to see that proven!
They certainly look like the AR to beat.
