The XM25 is much heavier than the M4/M203 or M4/M320. And IIRC, the 25mm round weighs 1/3 to 1/2 of what 40mm HEDP does, which means he could carry 2-3 times as much ammo, not 4-6 times.
Interesting feedback on XM25 use, for those who haven't already seen it: http://kitup.military.com/2011/02/inside...istan.html
