it's not the gun itself that's the big deal, it's how it's used and interfaced with the landwarrior system, here's a cut & paste from my other post in a different thread
it's going to be one of the biggest advancements in infantry we've ever seen. what you've seen so far is just the start, these systems are bulky now, but these are just proto-type units. they are already 1/3 the original weight, and the computer is 1/2 the size. this system is unbelievable. imagine a squad leader able to issue orders real time by video. the soldier has one eye in the open and another on his HUD (like apache pilots). the leader could bring up an overhead map, and give waypoints and objectives on the fly, rather than having to have guys stop and get their maps and do readings etc.
the system will allow soldiers to see the enemy in pitch black, there is no place to hide from these things. one camera mounted in the scope direct feeds into the optic, to clear corners all the soldier does is point the rifle around the side and he can see everything, with no need to expose himself to enemy fire. enemy runs and hides behind a building? no problem, fire the cannon, when the round gets behind the building he detonates it.
this system is going to be one of the biggest life savers for soliders. from what ive seen it will be the ultimate system as far as use and safety is concerned. as the program develops the system will get lighter and smaller. and the cost is fantastic. excluding weapon they are estimated at about 15,000 a soldier. bring it on!

Yeah, the OICW is in Tactical Ops for UT. In the map the terr have to break in and get it. Of course the SF aren't allowed to use it 
<< Those are amazing weapons! Just hope we don't have to resort to them and hopefully, no war will happen at all... >>
I agree...
The coolest thing I have seen about this weapon is the firing mechanism for the sight. Basically, when you press the trigger the targeting camera locks. Then if you shake a little it waits until you point at the exact spot you pressed the trigger again before it fires. Gives average marksman the shooting ability of a sniper.
The laser is a range finder. You use it to determine the distance to something, like a wall someone is hiding behind, and then you can set the shell to detonate just past the obstacle.
All this stuff has been around for years, its just the first time someone has put it all together on a rifle.

That thing looks BADASS!! >>
This webpage is missing pictures of Afghanistans deadly weapons. They could, for example, show a camel laced with explosives.
