Nothing new here.
Colt got to be one of the list inovating small arms companies around. The best they can do to compete is buy the competition. Just laughable. Zero inovation.
Since Colt bought Diemaco, the canadian company lost a few good contracts in Europe.
Colt never built a military adopted rifle from ground up, yet they pretend to be treated like "world leaders in small arms". The true is that all they did was buy products made by smaller more inovative companies, buy smaller more inovative companies, or do quick, cheap bandaide fixes to older designs.
Laughable.
