OICW is dead. Land warrior is years off as they try to miniturize everything enough to not be 100% of what a soldier is carrying. Its only in testing with the 1 unit in the army that does testing of new experimental equipment, as of my last hearing.

Also the only good thing about the OICW was that the nade launcher was programable. But that was also a bad thing, since speed is life and programing a round took time. That and it fired from an open bolt. The ejection port was on the right side, and in IMT training your trained to use the buttstock of your rifle to break your fall. Thats the ejection port on the OICW and if you've fired a round and not closed the cover and IMT to the next position, dirt all up in that shit.
