Well,at the very least,you would have a suppressing effect on the enemy.As
far as actual damage is concerned,I leave that for the experts.

Is this a money saving exercise to not have multi0le uniforms. I take the
point about differing environments in Helmand though.

I think you have something there. Maybe build 2 variants, 1 as an infantry carrier only, with just MG mounts for the squad (MGs would be dismounted for extended dismounted ops). The second could be used for either smaller units or low level infantry HQs. It would mount something akin to a 20mm AA gun. Good enough to rip up German HTs or help protect against the Luftwaffe, but still small ...

Cool, but totally useless. By the time it was emplaced the crew could have made a frontal assault and been on R&R

I suspect it'll come in the form of new propellants, new projectiles, or recoil management systems. There's only so many ways to design a rifle ergonomically and most of that ground has been covered already. Modular is yesterdays news although most new designs might have that feature. There's really only so many new things to try.
1. Push the projectile faster.
2. Design a new ...

Listy, I've read somewhere the impact fuses in hand grenades are incredibly
difficult, if not impossible, to design with a good margin of safety for
the thrower. There was a special grenade for American special forces in
WWII that they tried designing with a reliable impact fuse. Very large
numbers of people were killed and injured during the testing and
development as they attempted to throw the...
