search but i did not find anything but any1 know of the chances of seeing the XM321 in PR? and the nade launcher version the X307 , which is gonna replace the Mk.19 i think

for those who dont know about it
"The XM312 is a modern machine gun chambered for the 12.7 × 99 mm NATO cartridge which is derived from the XM307 25mm autocannon. It was designed in response to a request by the US military for a replacement for the aging M2HB heavy machine gun, and as a complement to the more efficient and lethal, but heavier, XM307. It is expected to be put into service around FY 2008.[1] It is quicky capable of being converted to a XM307 with a few number of parts and workload at the unit level (and vice versus from the XM307). Procurement of the XM312 will allow easier use of the XM307, as only the related kits would have to be adopted."

It hasn't been fielded yet and we are unsure it will be fielded = no.

Not fielded yet and the XM312 (the .50 BMG one) if used in the mod would put the Americans at a severe disadvantage due to the low ROF compared to the HMGs used by the British, MEC and PLA.

The XM307 would only really be able to fill the role of the M2 on jeeps and such, and would make the US team heavily over powered.

But they're still experimental, we wont see them in the mod any time soon me thinks.
