OSCW Tippmann

(OICW marker, not OSCW)

Woodsball needs a revolution, or at least something new in markers.  Sure, we got scenario M-16's and sniper rifles and all of that good stuff, tricked out with scopes, farther shooting barrels, etc.  Well, between the years of 2006 and 2008, the United States Army should be deploying new front line rifles, currently and experimentally called the OICW, or M-8.  As a tribute to our armed forces, Tippmann should come out with a new marker similar to this model.  Its kind of cool looking, and tippmann could preinstall an f/x sight, a stock, and everything so that the product is cheaper, more compact, and just looks plain out cool.  Go to google.com (or look below) and look for a weapons history site or type in OICW to see what this marvel looks like if you don't know what it already is.  What do you guys think?

Shoot.  Honestly, your right.  I remeber it being spelled the OSCW, but I suppose that it is called the OICW.  It looks like this (I might get in trouble for this...)  I'll edit the forum so that it's OICW.  Thanks a lot for "correcting" me.

ok wow i vote ugliest most dumb looking rifle ever and by the way the gun has 2 clips and looks like it has way to many electrinics in it to be adopted as a standard service rifle but it does look like the british bullpup and  has a built in scope like it

oscw was a design for a 20mm grenade launcher much like the one proposed for the oicw

I almost cried when they cancelled the Commanche, that was the epitome of a kick ass attack helo.

We need to see some real good SAW kits coughhintthompsonshootercough

it has 2 different magazines because it has 2 different barrels which
would also indicate 2 different kinds of ammunition. The fact is
unlike someone stated before this isn't being scraped in fact they're
is alot of special forces units testing it and it will be used for
selective use not as a standard rifle like some say. the bottom part is
basically like a m16 it has a 5.56 magazine( front clip in front of
trigger). the Bullbup part is the 20 mm grenade launcher which is
pretty niffty in how it fires, i forgot all the details, go to
world.guns.ru for more details and look it up.

What i want is a realistic bull pup that would be effective. I thought
up a Electro pneumatic design

The M08 is new developed concept based off of the efforts of the OICW isn't it?  the M08 (XMO8 specifically) is sort of the smaller version of the package.  But yes, that is what I meant (sorry if I wasn't specific).  The OICW and XMO8 are nearly virtually the same, except that one is big and one is small, thanks to current technology.  And the reason I mentioned the saw stock...

Here's a pick of the better version of the OICW, the XMO8.  Okay, it's not as bulky (this things smaller than heck), but both models would look cool though.  X08, OICW, whatever, they both rock.

sorry....  updated it to a link (hope that's not against the rules either...)

That was the earlier version of the OICW. The latest seperated the grenade launcher from the 5.56mm rifle. There was talk of just issuin the rifle, which is based on the G36. However the Army in the past year decided to open up the competition again to other manufacturer besides HK. The OICW sounds cool, but it's still way to big and heavy. Sure it might be lighter than an M4 with every add on, but I don't put everything on my M4 or M16-A4 at once. With the M203 you cna't mount the bayonet or front grip, and it takes up the space on the bottom rail.
