WMH Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I like the new color choices, the tan one reminded me of these cool videos of the XM8. Since the news is out today, I thought I'd post these links. If you don't like the XM8, watch the videos for the full-auto action! XM8 Page at H&K defense: http://www.hkdefense.us/pages/military-le/...rbines/xm8.html (all the below direct video links are from the above page) XM8 Overview video: http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?s=1-292925-xm8.php XM8 assembly video: http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?s=1-292...m8_assembly.php XM8 in dust and water video: http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?s=1-292925-xm8_dust.php -when you watch this one, note the guy behind the H&K rep that gets a face-full of dust when he shakes off the XM8 that he just dug up. Amazing that it shoots tho.

MooCow Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 i like black... black all the way! but the new colour stuff is good... change in colours wont make the guns look so dull Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The Black ones alright... It's through Academy and their "Build it yourself kits" and the Lovely (Bleh!) green shiny mmmm finish that puts me slightly off the green XM8 version. (my 2 cents) Link to post Share on other sites
