The fact that it looks like an FN FAL with the foregrip and drum of a tommy gun?

Anyway, "Ultimax" sounds like a brand of Tampons.

I reckon it will be a good many years before the SAW is replaced.

sounds like some cleaning device thats name sound better than the product is i.e.they are trying to make up for the crappy-ness of the device.

in the pics the gun looks like a modern thompson with a longer barrel.

That is one of the problems I heard the Army was looking at when they had the XM-8 SAW varient. 100 rounds is not enough to make it a true Squad Automatic Weapon for combat and support,
but I maybe wrong here though.

IMO, they should of just updated the M240 or adopted the updated M60E4 which is being used by the Navy Seals, which can be seen here.

They have a video out that has an M60E4 that is firing on full auto for a whole minute and 45 seconds I believe which was pretty amazing while the operator was able to still control it.

Here is the video here at the bottom of this page.

Or the direct link here, but there maybe some offense adds on the top.
