Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[quadrapiper]

The L4 version was in service until the mid-90s, I believe. A nice bit of kit, but a bugger to carry with the 'butt in the shoulder'

Only slightly more overgrown looking than the SLR/FN.

Did a quick google: same length, more or less, but more than twice the weight.

Nah the glow stick I attached to the Platoon Commander’s helmet draws all the fire

Only when he had a map.

Carried the original BREN my first year in the Army. Was a year under age and the smallest stature in the Section.

22lbs, unloaded. And Gawd help you if you tried to use the sling

See one area the CAF didn't scrimp -they bought C2's instead of rechambering the Bren's from .303 Brit.
