Heckler & Koch XM8 [1035]

Description
The H&K XM8 was a prototype modular assault rifle developed by Heckler & Koch in the early 2000s for the U.S. military. Based on the G36 platform, it featured lightweight polymer construction, upper receivers of different designs (full-length rail, short sight rail, etc.), and a futuristic design. The XM8 was designed to be adaptable into multiple configurations - including carbine, designated marksman, and automatic rifle variants - but the program was ultimately canceled before full adoption.

This pack features a full-length version of the XM8, as well as a carbine version.

akkarin, dagger directive has a working OICW and shit like FPV drones rn. It's styled like a late 90s delta force game, but with arma 3-style backpack and equipment. Did a run where I took OICW and everyone else just took an M4 and a shitload of spare mags, we just airbursted every enemy we saw with impunity.

Reminds me of the time every futuristic FPS had a XM8, good times haha. Now I only need an OICW for all the retro futuristic gear I loved

this is mad cool, been a huge XM8 glazer since Bad Company, interesting seeing it in the hands of modern CIA spooks, like a view into an alternate reality.

Thank you @AQUΛRIA! And thank you for those corrections, too. The OICW project was definitely my favorite of the failed attempts to replace the M4/M16.

The second they announced the G36 and the SDK, I knew it was only a matter of time before an XM8 hit the workshop. Bravo, Prodigy. This scratches a very particular niche I have, thank you. Also not to be the "erm, acchually" guy, but someone pointed out that the mounting system on the XM8 is "H-Key". It is not. The XM8 used the proprietary "PCAP" or Picatinny Combat Attachment Points, which actually predates every modular slot based accessory attachment system on the market today. The accessory package was provided by HK themselves which included a foregrip and a flashlight. It is also worth nothing that the XM320 was not part of this system and was instead its own carbine length hand guard. Its really worth looking into if you're interested in a fairly major but overlooked stepping stone in firearms development. A lot came out of the OICW/XM8 project.

Yeah, I was really bummed when GR2 never came to PC.

Ghost Recon 2 was peak, I wish it wasn't a console exclusive honestly.

@JayPix1992 My bad! I need to replay it too, though. Ghost Recon 2 was the blueprint for me and my XM8 obsession.
@Charles Vane I’ll include black versions when the devs give us working custom tags in the SDK.
