Don't mean to nit-pick but, last time I checked, the Objective Crew Served Weapon is designed to fire a different round than the Objective Individual Combat Weapon. It's rounds will be 25mm (as opposed to 20mm on the OICW) in two configurations. One will be a fused airburst munition similar in concept to the OICW's 20mm. The other will be an armor piercing round.
The promise(s) or OCSW is of greatly enhanced lethality (airburst cancels out the protection of defilade, lowered logistics requirements (fewer rounds per kill = less rounds needed in the supply chain), and increased commonality of equipment(OCSW replaces M-240, M2, Mk 19 just as OICW replaces M-16A1/A2, M-4, M-203 and perhaps M-249). Even if the system meets all of its design specs., I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable trading in all my MGs for a fire-control dependant grenade launcher.
Thoughts?
