A civilian version of the XM8? What? My kid’s BB gun will probably be covered by the AWB within five years and you’re wondering about a civilian version of XM8? (Just kidding–My kid doesn’t even have a BB gun.) No. Not a peep. In the end, isn’t it just a fancy 5.56 thrower? So what’s the excitement for a civvified version? No, they’re not going to let you have those sights…
