US Army selecting new Camo (again!), and making thier own M4A1 upgrades

In other news, big green is going back to green camo (well, green-ish) in selecting a very narrowly not-copyrighted version of multicam-ish camo that will come in three different flavors for those who globe-trot and dont agree with a one-pattern fits all lifestyle

Also teams from  Anniston Army Depot, Alabama, and Tank-Automotive Command in Warren, Michigan, are roaming the country upgrading the U.S. Army’s stock of 500,000 M4 rifles to the new M4A1 standard which will include a heavier barrel (to stablise the new, heavier, long range bullet) and is swapping out the old three-round burst trigger (which always sucked) for more legacy no-pew/pew/pewpewpewpewpew selector switch just as Eugene Stoner intended. Its nice to see the DOD do some stuff in-house for a change rather than phoning it in.
