They succeeded- sort of.

The R2 was rejected for several reasons. It's a killer, but also a piece of junk. It kicks hard enough that precision sights simply don't stay zeroed, and its oversized muzzle-device extends an already long barrel-length. Additionally, A19 ammo, already expensive, was driven to absurd highs by the ammunition's specs. Depleted uranium is expensive...and cutting the service life of the M4RA's barrel in half is even more expensive." + desc_lore = "The USCMC was not terribly enthusiastic about unproven hand-held plasma weaponry.
