That's awesome

$35,000 per gun PLUS the extras like ammo, ammo batteries, etc are all costly.

OUCH.

Now we know why the defense budgets are so out of control. Although maybe $35/weapon is a pretty good deal.

When it comes to money one of my friends who's out in Afghanistan at the moment posted an interesting statement on his Facebook - A Veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank cheque payable to the United Kingdom for an amount up to, and including, their life. $35k looks cheap in that light I hope we buy some.

The XM25, designed by Minnesota's Alliant Techsystems, has been in development for about seven years and the first prototypes have been doled out to combat units in Afghanistan earlier this month. The 12-pound, 29-inch system, which costs up to $35,000 per unit, is so sophisticated that soldiers are proficient users literally within minutes. (U.S. Army)

Its so complicated it takes minutes to be a proficient user!

(Yes this is a joke, I read the article and noticed the mistake )

wtf is tht? a grenade launcher or a rifle

that's cool they got nero to test that out.

Say hello to my little friend!

You think you can take me? You need an army if you gonna take me!

Reminds of the badass XM2010 Sniper Rifle that released as well.

It reminds me of a Kids gun. No really if some one walked up to me with that I would think it was fake. But I have the prefect weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2owUI45FL0&feature=related
