Fun Fact; in the late 90s/early 2000s, when the United States military was looking to replace the M 16/M4 family rifles, they were briefly considering the HK XM8 rifle, most notably known for its use in black ops two. Once that didn’t pan out, HK had a big order that they couldn’t really sell to anybody, except for Madagascar! they are, if memory serves, the only nation that uses the XM8 as a standard infantry weapon!
