Unlike possible replacements for the M16/M4 such as the now canceled XM8, the M468 is not an entirely new service rifle, instead the M468 is only made up of a service rifle upper receiver (made by Barrett) that is attached to M16/M4 service rifle lower receivers and is compatible to many accessories intended for the M16/M4 family. It can also be mated to M16/M4 lower receivers currently in the possession of the US military, thus causing the cost to update the M16/M4s to be significantly less than replacing all the M16/M4s in the US arsenal with a new weapon. The same is true for the HK 416 service rifle.
