They may well start putting some in some hands by then, but imagine how long it's going to take to fill the contracts and start replacing old with new at the depot levels ... everywhere.
Well, and whatever they get in the field will not have been tested properly by 2021. It may not even work very well by 2021. They have to design the cartridge yet to go into a gun that isn't designed yet, both of which need to be function checked together and corrections made for firing under good circumstances, and then the extremes testing will need to be conducted. Of course, this isn't just for one platform either.

They may want to make the change, but being able to do so goes way beyond what they want.
