This is part of the reason the military ditched the xm8 rifle. They were waiting for a more signifigant leap forward in technology to make the switching costs more worthwhile.

They have finished the belt fed squad support gun and are now working on a standard issue rifle. It uses new ammo 40-50% lighter and smaller with all the power of current 5.56 ammo. The gun is also lighter and has ultra low recoil because it is mechanically absorbed in the gun.
