Personally I believe that the Ares Shrike is a better idea as it's much more modular in design.
Fills the role of the Automatic Rifle, like the Browning Automatic Rifle. Short engagement times and controlled bursts. Long engagement, sustained fire, and suppression are the role of the Machinegun.

Using the Ultimax 100 differentiates the Project from U.S. Government forces. Something else that could be manufactured in quantity overseas without U.S. government knowledge then shipped in surreptitiously.
