 XM29 OICW - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The XM29 OICW ("Objective Individual Combat Weapon") was the name for a series of prototypes of a new type of battle rifle that fired 20mm airburst grenades.
OICW Increment One is a program to develop a family of light kinetic energy weapons, OICW Increment Two is a program to develop the airburst grenade launcher as a standalone component, and OICW Increment Three will be a program to re-integrate the two components.
While the HEAB is considered a primary round for the 20mm grenade launcher, it is entirely possible to develop a low cost anti-armour 20mm round with a Shaped Charge warhead, which will be effective against lightly armored vehicles (APC, MICV and like) and various hardened targets.

 Improvements to the OICW
In concept the OICW is basically that of a grenade launcher with a laser range-finder.
A 20mm OICW canister round would be slightly larger calibre than a 12g round, and being longer could probably carry more shot or flechettes.
In addition to the OICW there should also be a compatible underbarrel weapon with at least a three round capacity for door-breaching.

 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) / Selectable Assault Battle Rifle (SABR)
It is intended for the infantry who are in the direct line of battle or 'at the tip of the sword.' The OICW is the lethality upgrade for the Force XXI soldier and is intended to replace the M-16A4 modular weapons, which will be the current Land Warrior weapons.
The OICW dramatically increases soldier survivability, has the ability to defeat enemies in defilade, and is five times more effective at twice the range of today's conventional infantry systems.
OICW gives the infantry soldier a capability to acquire targets and precisely detonate an air bursting 20mm projectile approximately 1 meter over the threat.

 The Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW)
The OICW is a two barreled over-under weapon that includes a 5.56mm select-fire rifle of fairly conventional design with an advanced semi-auto 20mm bullpup magazine-fed grenade launcher.
The OICW features an infrared scope that operates without cooling, making it light and simple enough to be a standard feature (or at least an easily added module).
The old M16 curse of the "Mattel rifle" may be brought back on the OICW, but if the interface is built ruggedly enough, this kind of flexibility would be a boon, allowing it to replace the M4 carbine, M16, and M203 with one modular system at a single stroke.

Given M29 (OICW)’s significant edge in effectiveness (5 times more at 300 meters) an engagement cost for the existing M203 would be $80-100 to achieve what a single $30 M29 (OICW) round can do.

 NDM Article - Army and Marines Speed Up Improvements for Small Arms
The original prototype of the OICW weighed 18 pounds, which the Army said was too heavy for an infantryman’s personal weapon, she noted.

Eventually, the Army plans to redesign the OICW to allow the rifle and grenade launcher portions to be detached and operated separately, Muldowney explained.

Latest photo available of the OICW (being fired,) and it appears from the shell casing that this is a working version, at least for target practice or promotional photos.
It is called the OICW, or Objective Individual Combat Weapon, and HK is right there on the cutting edge with the development of the actual weapons platform that will perhaps take U.S and NATO soldiers into the next Century.
Very basically, the U.S. military wanted a weapon system that mates a conventional rifle with a 20mm "cannon" that is capable of delivering a special munition that can be user set to explode with an airburst at user determined and programmable ranges.

 Infantry  RE:OICW -- Nakito StrategyPage.com
OICW uses a new recoil compensation system, with felt recoil of the 20mm portion being advertised as 1/3 that of the 7.62mm M14 -- it isn't a "recoil lite" round, the weapon compensates for the power of the round.
20mm versus 40mm projectiles -- OICW 20mm is firing a round relying on pre-formed tungsten fragments to penetrate soft body armor, versus the serrated wire of 40mm HE and HEDP.
Likewise, 40mm is less accurate due to its lower velocity (before we even discuss optics), is not married to the OICW's sensor suite, and has a markedly lower rate of fire than a semi-automatic OICW type weapon.

 Modern Firearms - Alliant / HK XM-29 SABR / OICW assault rifle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The history of the one of the most ambitious projects in the history of small arms, known as the OICW, or the Objective Individual Combat Weapon, began late in the 1986, when the US Army Infantry School at Ft. Benning published a military paper, named "Small Arms System 2000" (SAS-2000).
At the same time the "kinetic energy" part of the XM-29 was type-classified as the XM-8 light rifle, and, in the near future, could possibly replace the current Colt M4 carbines as a standalone compact conventional small arms.
Development of the complete XM29 (OICW Increment 3) system has been shelved, and will be resumed in the future only if all current problems with OICW Block 1 rifle component are solved, and weight constraints of entire system are met.
