Same question I asked.
I know Barrett has a new one (6.8mm? I forgot), and I know Heckler and Koch has a new one (4.5mm?), but i am wondering if this is even a new rifle - maybe in is the 5.56 FN SAW? I hear the SAW was having major issues in Iraq. Not only did it jam a lot (To the point where it needed disassembly in the middle of combat to clear it!!!), but that the barrels frequently warped. I bet this is the gun if I had to guess. I know that a typical SAW user carries 3 barrels into combat now - sad.

Not too sure about Barrett, but H&K's is the new MP-7. Not a rifle. They had it on Futureweapons, and it fires the 4.5 (or was it 4.8?)mm rifle round. Pierces body armor and kevlar helmets with ease.
As for the SAW, they are replacing that already. They've got the M-240B Light Machine Gun (which is actually replacing the M-60E3), and the M-(I forgot the number) SAW to replace the M-249 SAW. The -240B uses the 7.62 NATO, and the new SAW uses the 5.56 NATO.
