January 14, 2004: Later this year, the U.S. Army will equip two brigades with a prototype of the new XM8 5.56mm assault rifle. This will allow for intensive field use of the rifle to work out any deficiencies in the design.

No idea what brigades will use it. If the do go to a short barrel the 6.8mm SPC becomes more plausible.

In the company literature, HK shows the "sniper" version using the same unity sight as all the other models...huh?
