^^^In the case of XM8, it was mostly political decisions. The rifle itself has a conventional weight, and is low maintenance. It's in foreign use too.

But that's going off on a tangent. I don't see the kohm as a pure energy weapon, unlike some of the weapons of the Corpus. It's a hybrid weapon, perhaps like a mass driver of sorts.
