XM8 series

Sign in to edit

« The XM8 was the US Army project name for new lightweight assault rifle system. US Army hoped to create new standard and highly modifiable infantry rifle but in 2005, the project was formally canceled. ~7500 prototypes of this weapon still exist, now held by the US Army.
The weapon was designed to use 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges and is able to fire up to 750 rounds per minute.
Armoury Description[1][2]

The XM8 is a 5.56 mm assault rifle used exclusively by ION PMCs in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Private Military Company DLC.

Overview[]

This asset partially requires the Private Military Company DLC.

The XM8 is a gas operated, selective-fire assault rifle with a rotating bolt that is chambered to fire the 5.56×45 mm NATO cartridge. It is the baseline model on which all other sub-variants of the XM8 are based on.

It primarily uses 30-round G36-type plastic magazines but it is also capable of feeding from 30- and 20-rounder STANAG magazines.[CfgWp 16] It can attain a fire rate of up to 750 rounds per minute (regardless of firemode)[CfgWp 17][Formula 1] and has a muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.[CfgMa 4]

XM8s have access to a wide variety of optics, flashlight/laser sights, and muzzle attachments depending on its configuration:

  • The baseline M8 rifle uses the Integrated Sighting Module (ISM), which combines a magnified red dot scope (that has a fixed magnification of 3.53x zoom)[CfgWp 18][Formula 2] with an IR laser pointer[CfgWp 19]
  • The M8 CQC has a foregrip and an ISM attached but uses a non-magnified red dot along with its IR laser pointer[CfgWp 20]
  • The M8 Holo SD uses the same foregrip configuration as the M8 CQC but lacks the ISM, replacing it with a non-magnified holographic sight, a flashlight on the six o'clock rail position[CfgWp 21], and a suppressor that restricts this configuration to loading only 30-rounder magazines loaded with subsonic 5.56 mm ammunition[CfgWp 22]
  • The M8 TWS uses the AN/PAS-13 thermal scope (that has a fixed magnification of 1.55x zoom)[CfgWp 23][Formula 3] but lacks the ISM's integral laser pointer, replacing it with a dedicated IR laser sight on the three o'clock rail instead[CfgWp 24]
  • The M8 TWS SD uses the same AN/PAS-13 thermal scope as non-suppressed M8 TWS rifles[CfgWp 25][Formula 3], but doesn't have a laser sight since it uses a suppressor that restricts this configuration to being able to load only 30-round 5.56 mm magazines with subsonic 5.56 mm ammunition[CfgWp 26]
Unfortunately, the XM8's modularity does come at a cost in other aspects of the weapon. Compared to most 5.56 mm-chambered assault rifles, the XM8 is worse off when it comes to accuracy since it has ~ 54% increased dispersion (0.00175 rad versus M16A4s/Mk16s/L85A2s which have a dispersion of just 0.001 rad).[CfgWp 1] Its muzzle velocity is also lower by ~ 1% (920 m/s versus 930 m/s)[CfgMa 4], though this can be remedied by simply loading STANAG magazines instead of the XM8's G36-type plastic magazines.

The XM8 M320 5.56 mm assault rifle.

The XM8 M320 is a 5.56 mm assault rifle used exclusively by ION PMCs in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Private Military Company DLC.

Overview[]

This asset partially requires the Private Military Company DLC.

The XM8 M320 is a grenadier configuration of the baseline XM8 rifle.

The M320 underbarrel grenade launcher can load and fire a variety of 40 mm grenade rounds, ranging from lethal high-explosive (HE) grenades to less-than-lethal (LTL) flares and non-lethal smoke shells.[CfgWp 38] The M320 has a ladder sight that is set to a fixed zeroing of 400 metres.[CfgWp 39][CfgWp 40]

It should be noted that unlike its parent weapon, the added bulk of the M320 makes it heavier to wield by ~ 16%.[CfgWp 37] Additionally, the XM8 M320's version of the ISM optic isn't magnified and purely functions as an unmagnified red dot sight, though it still retains the ISM's integral IR laser pointer.[CfgWp 41]

The XM8 Compact 5.56 mm carbine.
The XM8 Compact 5.56 mm carbine.

The XM8 Compact is a 5.56 mm carbine used exclusively by ION PMCs in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Private Military Company DLC.

Overview[]

This asset partially requires the Private Military Company DLC.

The XM8 Compact is a compact carbine configuration of the XM8.

Compared to its parent rifle, the XM8 Compact's shortened barrel causes a reduction in accuracy since it has ~ 13% increased dispersion (0.002 rad versus the XM8 rifle's 0.00175 rad).[CfgWp 42] Attachment-wise, it also only has two types of configurations available:

  • The standard M8 Compact that has a non-magnified ISM red dot optic and integral IR laser pointer[CfgWp 53]
  • An alternate M8 Compact CCO that replaces the ISM with a (also unmagnified) holographic sight and a flashlight on the six o'clock rail[CfgWp 54] in lieu of a laser sight

Although it doesn't suffer from a reduced muzzle velocity in spite of its shorter barrel (it uses the same G36-type plastic magazines and can even load 100-round drums)[CfgWp 55], the XM8 Compact is still heavier to wield compared to the baseline XM8 rifle (dexterity of 1.7 versus the XM8 rifle's 1.8).[CfgWp 52] Altogether, this essentially makes the XM8 Compact the worst variant in the XM8 family since it only has drawbacks and little-to-none upsides over other configurations.

The XM8 Automatic Rifle 5.56 mm light support weapon.
The XM8 Automatic Rifle 5.56 mm light support weapon.

The XM8 Automatic Rifle is a 5.56 mm light support weapon used exclusively by ION PMCs in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Private Military Company DLC.

Overview[]

This asset partially requires the Private Military Company DLC.

The XM8 Automatic Rifle is a light support weapon configuration of the XM8.

It always feeds from 100-round drum magazines by default but can still load regular 30-rounder G36/STANAG magazines.[CfgWp 61] Attachment-wise, the XM8 Automatic Rifle uses the same 3.53x zoom red dot scope[CfgWp 62][CfgWp 63][Formula 2] as the baseline XM8 rifle (that also features an integral laser pointer).[CfgWp 64] Where the XM8 Automatic Rifle mostly differs from its parent weapon is its fire rate, which has been uprated to ~ 857 RPM as opposed to the baseline XM8's ~ 750 RPM.[CfgWp 65][Formula 4] It is also no longer considered to be a select-fire weapon and is always set to fire on full auto.[CfgWp 66]

However, various modifications to the XM8 Automatic Rifle's (the drum magazine and its non-functional bipod) significantly increase the weapon's weight by ~ 32%, making it much more cumbersome to wield in close quarters compared to the XM8 rifle (from a dexterity of 1.8 down to 1.3).[CfgWp 60]

Accuracy is on par with the XM8 Compact (0.002 rad, making it worse than the baseline XM8 rifle)[CfgWp 56], and the XM8 Automatic Rifle's recoil is also more difficult to control, therefore it may be advisable for the operator to go prone in order to mitigate some effects of its recoil.

The XM8 Sharpshooter 5.56 mm designated marksman rifle.
The XM8 Sharpshooter 5.56 mm designated marksman rifle.

The XM8 Sharpshooter is a 5.56 mm designated marksman rifle used exclusively by ION PMC marksmen in ArmA 2. It was added with the release of the Private Military Company DLC.

Overview[]

This asset partially requires the Private Military Company DLC.

The XM8 Sharpshooter is a designated marksman rifle configuration of the XM8 rifle. It uses the exact same magnified red dot scope as the XM8 Automatic Rifle that has fixed magnification of 3.53x zoom[CfgWp 78][CfgWp 79][Formula 2] and also retains an integral laser pointer.[CfgWp 80]

Where it differs from the XM8 Automatic Rifle is that it is still classified as a select-fire weapon.[CfgWp 81] Its accuracy is drastically better than the baseline XM8 rifle and the XM8 Automatic Rifle combined since it has an impressive ~ 85% decrease in dispersion (0.0007 rad).[CfgWp 67] Weight-wise, it isn't that much heavier than the XM8 rifle (unlike the XM8 Automatic Rifle)[CfgWp 77], which essentially makes it the best variant in the XM8 family for general-purpose usage.

Its sole drawback is that it doesn't have any alternate configurations with different attachments, though its superb accuracy more than makes up for this loss in capability.

Camouflage[]

  • Grey: Standard medium grey finish.

Ammunition[]

Ammo parameter 5.56 mm NATO (Ball/STANAG) 5.56 mm NATO (Ball/G36) 5.56 mm NATO SD (Ball)
Base damage value 8[CfgAm 1] 8[CfgAm 1] 7[CfgAm 2]
Aerodynamic friction -0.001425[CfgAm 3] -0.001425[CfgAm 3] -0.0006[CfgAm 4]
Muzzle velocity (m/s) 930[CfgMa 6] 920[CfgMa 4] 320[CfgMa 7]
Expected velocity (m/s) 900[CfgAm 5][note 2] 900[CfgAm 5][note 2] 320[CfgAm 6][note 2]
Deflection angle (degrees) 10°[CfgAm 7] 10°[CfgAm 7] 10°[CfgAm 8]

For grenade rounds usable with the M320, refer to its dedicated article here.

All variants of the XM8 (including the XM8 Automatic Rifle) can be loaded with six types of 5.56 mm magazines.[CfgWp 16][CfgWp 61] The 100-round drums take up two inventory slots[CfgMa 8] but regular 20- and 30-round magazines use one slot only:[CfgMa 9][CfgMa 10][CfgMa 11]

G36 Mag.[]

Arma1-ammunition-30rndg36

30-round plastic magazine used primarily by the XM8 family, G36-type weapons, and other non-M16 assault rifles/carbines loaded with 5.56 mm ball ammunition.[CfgMa 12] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a lower muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.[CfgMa 4]

None of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.

30rnd G36 SD[]

Arma1-ammunition-30rndg36

Special G36-type plastic magazine loaded with thirty rounds of subsonic 5.56 mm ammunition.[CfgMa 13] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a reduced muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[CfgMa 14]

Aside from its subsonic loadout, this magazine is statistically unchanged from the standard G36-type magazine.

This is one of the two magazines which can be loaded by suppressed variants of the XM8.

MG36 Mag.[]

Arma2-ammunition-100rndmg36

High-capacity 100-round drum magazine used primarily by the XM8 Automatic Rifle. It is loaded with a mix of 5.56 mm ball and tracer ammunition.[CfgMa 15] Rounds fired from this drum specifically have a lower muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.[CfgMa 16]

Every fourth[CfgMa 17] round fired will emit a visible tracer. The last four[CfgMa 18] rounds of the drum will always emit tracers.

30Rnd. STANAG[]

Arma1-ammunition-30rndstanag

30-round STANAG magazine used primarily by M16-type assault rifles and carbines. Loaded exclusively with 5.56 mm NATO ball ammunition.[CfgMa 8] None of the rounds fired will emit visible tracers.

Aside from its higher muzzle velocity and appearance, this magazine remains statistically unchanged from 30-rounder G36 magazines.

30Rnd. STANAG SD[]

Arma1-ammunition-30rndstanag

Special 30-round STANAG magazine loaded with subsonic 5.56 mm NATO ammunition.[CfgMa 19] Rounds fired from this magazine specifically have a reduced muzzle velocity of 320 m/s.[CfgMa 7]

As with the stock 30-rounder STANAGs, it does not contain any visible tracer rounds.

This is one of the two magazines which can be loaded by suppressed variants of the XM8.

20Rnd. STANAG[]

Arma2-ammunition-20rndfnfal

20-round STANAG magazine containing only twenty rounds worth of 5.56 mm ball ammunition.[CfgMa 20]

None of the rounds fired from this magazine will emit visible tracers.

Trivia[]

  • All XM8 variants have the ability to interchangeably load 20-, 30-, and 100-rounder magazines. In spite of this, their models will not change to reflect this. For instance, XM8 Automatic Rifles will still appear to feed from 100-round drums even when they are using 20-rounder STANAGs, while the XM8 Compact will still be shown being loaded with a G36 magazine even after the use loads a 100-round drum into it.
  • Along with the Mk16/Mk17 family, it is one of the few modular rifle platforms in ArmA 2. It would only be matched by the MX in ArmA 3, which is almost identical to the XM8 in terms of the types of variants that it has (rifle, grenadier, carbine, SAW, and DMR).
  • Although the XM8 family was actually included when ArmA 2 was launched initially (pre-Operation Arrowhead), only the standard configurations with no additional optical sights or accessories attached were bundled with the game.[1] The weapon family would remain completely unused by any in-game faction until the Private Military Company DLC was released.
  • It is stated to be the product of Sister Systems, an Armaverse arms manufacturer.[3]
  • After the latest Steam version patches (as part of changes from CorePatch), a separate "large" variant of the XM8 Automatic Rifle was added that specifically occupies the user's backpack slot (Classname: m8_SAW_Large).[4] However, it isn't available by default in ammo crates and can only be equipped through the use of scripting commands or a custom addon.
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • Hidden models and textures for the XM8 could previously be found within the game files for ArmA: Armed Assault (specifically a now-removed data archive titled as "weapons2.pbo"). However, the files were quickly removed after the release of Patch 1.08[5], suggesting that the XM8 was presumably intended to make its debut in Armed Assault rather than in ArmA 2.[6]
