The service first announced that it was buying these guns, also referred to as Sub Compact Weapons, or SCWs, in 2019 as a new weapon to arm its protective security details.
The Army first announced that it had awarded the SCW contract to Swiss gunmaker B&T's U.S.-based subsidiary on March 29, 2019.

EVERY EX OPERATOR WHO HAS A YOU TUBE CHANNEL HAS REVIEWED THE XM5 RIFLE AND ALL THE REVIEWS HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE. HEAVY
IF YOUR USE A LONG BATTEL M 16 WITH ARMOR PEN ROUNDS YOU GET SAME EFFECT OF BIGGER ROUND 20 ROUND MAGS COST LIVES IN COMBAT SUPPRESSOR GOOD IDEAL (REAL REASON AT NIGHT COMPLETELY HIDES FLASH) TRAINING WITH FULL POWER ROUNDS WILL BE MORE DIFFICULT AND IF YOU DO NOT THEN YOU ARE NOT TRAINING AS YOU ARE FIGHTING. NOT A SINGLE REVIEWER DUDE WOULD CARRY IT IN COMBAT
THE XM 250 ON THE OTHER HAND RAVE REVIEWS BUT HALF ASKED FOR IT IN 556
