If this is anything like the M4A1 carbine replacement trial, you might be right. The military just had too much invested in the M16 series rifle. The U.S.M.C. had just not to long ago upgraded to the Beretta M9A1, so they aren't getting away from it. Even if the Army did replace it would be a slow transition just like the M9 was to the M1911A1. If it's not broke don't fix it, and if you do try to fix it......... make sure it's worth it.
