are the new pics working prototypes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.109.102.105 ( talk) 20:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

maybe this article will make it better: http://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-06/smart-bullets 69.225.28.184 ( talk) 01:19, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Also; "These features make the XM25 more effective than traditional grenade launchers at the task of hitting targets that are behind cover or dug into the ground." seems to break NPOV. This is typical of articles of weapons in the procurement or development phase since the manufacturers PR company is responsible for most releases of information. Who's to say an AGS-30 (a traditional grenade launcher by some standards) isn't as effective at this task? If there is a source for this statement I would suggest stating that it is the opinion of that source. If that source is the manufacturer then that should be especially clearly noted as a manufacturers claim.-- Senor Freebie ( talk) 02:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The first citation in this article is rather unreliable. Half of the article is cut off because it wants you to pay to read the rest of it. This isn't something that can be easily checked. New citation, anyone? 76.19.4.2 ( talk) 03:27, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
The video attached to the Fox News report says that the range detection is based on "turn counting"... Seems like an interesting thing to include. [1] patniemeyer ( talk) 15:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

This weapons fires explosive projectiles which are less than 400g which contravenes the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868.

"The most recent deployment plans call for a purchase of 12,500 XM25s at a projected cost per weapon system of $25,000."
Who's deployment plans? I guess US militairy, but it might as well be any other armed force, or the plans of all armed forces together, or... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.171.208.165 ( talk) 10:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Given the "may" in the article used by some random corporate public-speaking shrill, why is this explosives launcher tagged non-lethal?
I can put rubber bullets (or "small explosive charge" instead of solid-state projectile) and cold-load pretty much any firearm, and they "may" end up being non-lethal (if the combination actually does work), but I would not expect the tag to be valid for such reasons in a description of <insert favorite personal weapon>... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.50.161 ( talk) 22:11, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
The two pictures are mirror-inverted. Please correct them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.136.203.132 ( talk) 22:20, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
The article should make it clear whether the project has been scrapped or not. ScienceApe ( talk) 16:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Does anyone know exactly how much the ammo for the XM25 costs? The article puts it at $24, $35, and $55. Only one can be correct if any of them are. Grizzly chipmunk ( talk) 15:28, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Is Stars and Stripes a credible source? According to them, the XM25 was officially canceled on July 24th. [1] Spartan198 ( talk) 14:06, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Clearly written with an agenda. The weapon seems to have one drawback, the weight, and the section does a good job emphasizing it from all angles, several times, distorting the facts on the way. Good job, Denel marketing guy! 91.10.44.197 ( talk) 17:28, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
