So, it sounds like we'll finally be getting a semi-auto version of the ARX-160 at some point. Anyone excited, hesitant, dismissive, or otherwise?
It seems like a pretty slick package, the ambidextrous stuff especially seems innovative, or at least well done. A real step forward for Beretta, who, if I'm not mistaken, hasn't introduced a new service-rifle-equivalent to the market in a while (I suppose you could count the Benelli MR1, I have no idea if that ever saw trials, let alone service, though). The price is high, but folks shell out more for 30 year old bullpups and the SCAR, so perhaps 1950$ isn't completely ridiculous. The profile is fatter than an AR, but looks an awful lot like a G36 to me, and many folks think those are cool .
The only opinions I've read so far are simultaneously "come on Beretta, come out with something "revolutionary" already," and "why isn't it compatible with all my AR-stuff?" . Does the rifle seem intriguing, or off-putting for some reason?
