The problem is my faulty memory and my lack of paying close attention to the news article. I think I am mixing my memory of the future weapon's program with the news article . I went to the Future Weapons web site last night and looked at all the programs that have appeared in season 1 and season 2 and not one of the weapons rung a bell. Now I remember each and ever Future Weapons program but like you said none of these weapons are in mass production.
I think that knowing which weapons is being mass produced today is the key to figuring out exactly which weapon the TV NEWs program was talking about. I did some web googling last night and I am leaning toward the M4 as that weapon best reminds me of the one in question. It's subject to jamming when dirty and it's being ordered in large numbers. Although I could not find any information on anyone ordering 100,000 of these weapons. I did see where there was an order for around 20,000. I questioned the 100,000 number myself.
Did anyone else catch this news program? I have read all the posts in this thread and not one other person saw that news show on TV. This was a news show on TV and not the future weapons program.
