Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

That's the job of dets in the platoon or, even more appropriately, the company.

100 percent this. The section is an element of a platoon and isnt going to be off isolated doing it's own thing without support.

Doesn't work like that, well, not at a cost the GOC would be able to afford any time soon.

Probably why a lot is being dropped with GD OTS on the new round

Carrying a couple 870 12ga shotguns in a section seems more relevant than DMR rifles now days - especially if we're going to be putting 6x or 10x optics on rifles.

I think that's too much for a section commander to be concerned with. Perhaps a micro UAS to peak around the corner, but otherwise you are getting away what a section should be focused on, which is direct fire engagements at 100m or less.

100% this. A section commander has enough on their hands already.
