A Grendel in the Mk.48 type SAW would be interesting, but they need to cut 12 lbs off that gun to make it maneuverable. I suspect there is already a lot of work being done behind the scenes that none of us will hear about or tell, regarding Grendel in military R&D. It caught the attention of a lot of folks already years ago, so it doesn't surprise me to hear of anyone is testing it. When companies drop the money on R&D, they don't want their results open to every competitor in the industry, as lessons it took them maybe months/years to learn, would be detrimental to their competitive advantage if shared or leaked to others just steps behind them.
