	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 20 mm airburst grenades.
		The XM29 is a combination weapon, which has the 20 mm semi-automatic, magazine fed cannon/grenade launcher as its primary part, and the 5.56 mm compact assault rifle as its secondary part.
		The XM29 is planned to become an integral part of the future Land Warrior system, capable of communicating with the other parts of this system, including the tactical computers and helmet-mounted displays.

		The XM29 is a combination weapon, which has the 20 mm semi-automatic, magazine fed grenade launcher as its primary part, and the 5.56 mm compact assault rifle as its secondary part.
		The XM29 will become an integral part of the future Land Warrior system, capable of communicating with the other parts of this system, including the tactical computers and helmet-mounted displays.
		The rifle, or "kinetic energy" part of the XM29 system, on the other hand, is a fairly conventional, short-barrelled assault rifle, derived from the Heckler und Koch G36 assault rifle.

	Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) / Selectable Assault Battle Rifle (SABR)
		SABR is a modular weapon system, consisting of the Fire Control System (FCS); a "kinetic energy" component comprised of a short 5.56mm rifle barrel and trigger group from the Heckler & Koch 036 assault rifle; and the grenade launcher consisting of a magazine-fed, semiautomatic 2Omm grenade launcher barrel and an action and recoil absorption mechanism.
		While the present generation SABR weighs about 18 pounds, the goal for production units is 14 pounds, or about the weight of the current M16/M203 with optical sight.
		Development of the complete XM29 (OICW Increment 3) system was shelved, and will be resumed once the OICW Increment 1 and 2 components are developed, and weight constraints of entire system are met.

		Plans for eventual fielding the XM29 are to issue four units per one infantry squad of 9 men.
		The rifle, or "kinetic energy" part of the XM29 system, on the other hand, is a fairly conventional, short-barrelled assault rifle, derived from the Heckler and Koch G36 assault rifle.
		While being mounted to the whole system, it can be used for close quarters work, both defensive or offensive (the 20mm grenade launcher has a minimum range of fire of about 50–100 meters), or as a low-cost, low intensity medium range offensive weapon.

		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.

		It was going to be replaced by the winner of the Advanced Combat Rifle (ACR) program, but none scored high enough to be worth the cost of changing over.
		It was also potentially going to be replaced by the SABR, from the OICW project.
		The weapon system originally planned by the OICW project was put on hold around the turn of century, in favor of a simpler new 5.56 mm rifle project that offered less far-reaching improvements.

	[No title]
		The American XM29 SABR, or the Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) was supposed to replace the M16 and M4, but a weight problem (it was pushing 18 pounds) forced a split.
		This rifle was to have a modified XM8 firng 5.56mm bullets, and a 20mm semiautomatic grenade launcher with a six-round clip, for distant targets.
		So, it was split into the XM8 and the XM25, which was modified to use the 25mm smart shell for the XM307 (the Objective Crew-Served Weapon), and the XM25 will have a five-round clip for the 25mm grenades (with an optional ten-round clip).

		Early in the 2002 the XM-29 test weapons were successfully tested with the newest 20mm HEAB (High Explosive Air Bursting) munitions, which were slated to be a major "kill factor" for the M-29 weapon.
		Unfortunately the Alliant Techsystems Corporation/ HandK XM29 OICW had a weight problem (it was pushing 18 pounds), which forced a split.
		At 18 pounds, the XM29 OICW it was too heavy as a personal weapon, and lightening it to the objective of 14 pounds would have made it too fragile for combat conditions.

		By the early 2000s, the weapon had settled on a design and was classified as the XM29.
		However, the weapon had serious problems - it did not meet weight or cost targets, and the 20mm smart grenades did not seem to be lethal enough in testing.
		This resulted in the army starting development on new weapons, and finally shelving the XM29 in 2004.

		The XM8 also has a much tighter seal between the bolt and the ejection port, which should cut down on the amount of debris that can blow into the weapon when the ejection port's dust cover is open, Smith said.
		The XM8 is part of the Army's effort to perfect an over-and-under style weapon, known as the XM29, developed by Alliant Techsystems and HandK.
		The xm8 should be issued to all front-line urban combat soldiers, and when posible, the xm29 issued to long-range special-ops.

		Eventually, they dropped the 5.56 component, opened up the 20mm to 25mm to use low-velocity versions of the XM307 ammo (plus a flechette APERS round).

		The Objective Individual Combat Weapon or OICW usually meant the next-generation assault rifle competition that was under development as part of the OICW program.
		By the early 2000s, the weapon had settled on a design and been classified as the XM29 OICW (XM29).
		Of course, the timelines and most of the weight and cost requirements set in this paper looked unrealistic from the start, but the development of the Objective weapons series began in the early 1990s.

		Unfortunately, the two pages dedicated to the OICW are based on information some two years out of date; the rifle isn't even called OICW anymore; last fall the army redesignated it as the XM29 SABR, and it was plenty early enough to have made it to copy before the book went to the printers.

		See, the Pentagon initially wanted to put this thing (which I'll refer to as the SABR from know on) in the hands of infantry men a while back, but they could never get it small enough, and more importantly, it was always over-wieght.
