Bill,
do you have more documented information on the XM9 trials available?
I'm asking because I have a great interest on the trials, and, untill now, I was only able to find a copy of an article from
The Blade Magazine, already posted on this forum,
where Eickhorn is reported with only 9 total failures, 7 with the wire cutter and 2 with the handle
