This is based on a comment on a YouTube video, so it probably should be taken with a grain of salt. But on a video that Forgotten Weapons did on the G36 debacle in Germany (where Ian defends the G36 and goes into issues that countries other than Germany debunked), in the comments section, it...
Sadly only in German and available on the German language portion of HK's site, but it seems that HK is working on a new round counter system. Also has photos of the 433, 437, 416 and 416 and 433/437 bolt mechanisms...
Foreign language videos from Enforce Tac with good visuals. First if a video by Frag Out Magazine with HK content (MR308 A6 and G39) starting at 9:55:

Soldat & Technik has an article about the G95A1/KA1 pre production examples being tested by the German Army since Sept. This is part of the refinement/testing phase before widespread issue is set to begin in 2025...

Beretta's successor to the ARX-160 series. Basically Beretta's answer to the Sig MCX, but (maybe) better (given Sig USA's sketchy QC history)?

Basically a lightweight MG5 designed to compete with the Minimi Mk 3/Mk 48. Differs from the MG5 in that it doesn't use a side folding stock (usese either a HK416 or MP7 type stock) and is side ejecting instead of bottom ejecting, which means that ammo boxes/pouches can be mounted directly...
