The rifles actually look very close to the US OICW (Objective Infantry Combat
Weapon system), which the US is playing around with now
for a 2004 issue-date. An interesting 5.56mm rifle with a 20mm 5-shot
launcher hooked up to an intelligent ranging system, allowing the warheads on
the 20mm rounds to explode at various ranges.
Nice in theory, but I would HATE to drop my rifle and find out it didn't work
anymore....:)
BTW, what does Oz use as a SAW these days? The Minimi or the MAG 58?
Laterish!

Thanks! I thought I saw an old picture (80's) of a MAG58, and was just
curious.
Later!
