As reported Military.com the reason for the closure of the project was the lawsuit between the two companies — Orbital ATK accused Heckler & Koch in short shipment of 20 prototype weapons and disrupting the timing of development of the grenade launcher. The development of the XM-25 is from the beginning of 2000-ies. A weapon created by the German company and the us — engaged in the development of grenades for him. Ammunition for the grenade launcher is made programmable. Before shooting the shooter can set the distance flying which the grenade should explode.
