Was this Colt’s reward for participating in the gun confiscation program?

$307,000,000 rifle contract.

Anyone else actually seethe rifle they want to swap it with just did a quick search it is literally to me atleast a HK416 lmao like colt re did HK’s design I think it’s retarded I’ve never served but pretty sure the c8s would’ve been fine and maybe let’s get a few more LAV’s since we’re sending no phone a 1/3 of our APC’s to Ukraine but nah spend 300 million on a rifle contract that you could’ve likely gotten cheaper if you just went to Germany and asked for HK416’s
