| | Due to popular demand: The XM8 Assault Rifle: Murdoc Online |
 | | Designated the XM29, it was going to be a combination of a 5.56mm assault rifle and a 20mm "smart grenade" launcher. |
 | | Additionally, the sights on the XM29 were going to be high-tech video units with magnification, and thermal imager, laser range finder, electronic compass, and a ballistic computer used to program the grenades. |
 | | However, while the fate of the XM29 is being debated, two seperate but related programs, the XM8 assault rifle and the XM25 grenade launcher, are going ahead. |
