US Army Files Trademark Application for M8 Carbine<\/h2>\n
\n

In late January the US Army filed a trademark application<\/a> with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the term \u201cM8\u201d for all categories of firearms. As SSD revealed yesterday, the US Army issued an experimental type classification of XM8 to the Carbine version of the M7 Rifle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The XM8 Carbine has been making the rounds. Above you can see a member of the Army Marksmanship Unit coaching a VIP on the range. In case you were wondering, this one is outfitted with the Vortex \u201cEleanor\u201d AMG 1-10x optic<\/a> and the B.E. Meyers\u2019 MAWL-X1 aiming laser<\/a>. In the background you can see an M7 equipped with the XM157 Next Generation Squad Weapons \u2013 Fire Control.<\/p>\n
