NICE! The NICW From RF2 Looks Very Similar. It's Got a 40mm HVAP Grenade Launcher, And Fires At About The Same Rate As An M60. (The Only Difference Is That The NICW's Bullets Aren't "Smart" )
Still, The XM-29 Looks Wicked!!!!!! I Wouldn't Wanna Be A Dune Coon And Get In Front Of That Baby!

Notice the yellow bullets in the rear magazine. Those are "smart" bullets. They explode before a target, shredding them with shrapnel!

Actually, the XM-29's "smart" bullets explode, not producing shrapnel. The smart bullets are programed using an electronic field finder. The bullets are then programed to explode at a certain distance from the gun. They are ment to be warning shots only. They can be used as a lethal weapon, but they are normally used for warning shots. And yes, they are perfect for Taliban safaris. ;D
