    Guessing this is why Marines are giving up armor......

    The 25mm grenade didn’t carry enough HE.

    Group Buys RAPTAR group buy

    The rangefinding laser is 1550nm and eye safe. It can’t be seen by image intensification devices. The pointer and illuminate of course can be seen.

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Felipe, do you know what the spec range is on the KAC WP and high FOM WP? Wondering what the extra $2200 gets.

    SBR Form 1 vs Pistol Build

    No, you can put a 16” barrel on an SBR that started as a rifle (no pistol or AOW) and sell it as a Title 1 rifle if you want.

    Are naval ISR assets better than the ISR assets that artillery hides from normally?

    Is there such thing as AR15 sniper rifle?

    If I let you guys define things we could issue M16A2s to snipers and save a ton of money.

    Red man, agreed about combined arms. I was being lazy at the start of the thread. As Seth posted, artillery is used to prevent the enemy from massing and damage them when they do. Infantry and tanks exploit that. In an industrial war 80% of casualties are caused by high explosive.

    Guessing this is why Marines are giving up armor......

    I have a formal education in these matters and read doctrine for fun. So your complaint is that we are equally ignorant? Noted. It’s not a regular rocket, it’s an anti-ship missile similar to what a ship or aircraft would shoot. Except you can’t sink the island the launchers are on and by the...

    There’s a place for that rifle, but it’s not a replacement for a 16” 5.56 with a 1-10.

    Point in fact the Recce in NSW predates the SPR. The Navy wanted to type classify the recce and the army wanted to type classify a 20” SPR.

    Try a better bullet. The 77 is far from the best hunting round.

    Night Vision Received My PVS-14...How Did I Do?

    They go to 81 for L3. Higher for Photonis but that’s a difference in measurement only—L3 reports resolution at 57, 64, 72 or 81 and your unit might be 63, 71, 80 and rounding is always down.

    Is there such thing as AR15 sniper rifle?

    I’m sitting on an 88 acre parcel right now and the farthest line of sight is 500 yards. Just saying...

    Is there such thing as AR15 sniper rifle?

    This is where the difference comes in between an SPR and a Recce/DMR. The accuracy needed with a higher power optic and longer ranges is significantly more. The Crane infographic for the Mk12 was powerful. It showed accuracy relative to the M16. The circle showing expected mean radius was...

    Is there such thing as AR15 sniper rifle?

    Ammo, an optic and a free floating rail are most important. If you gave me a limited budget I’m going to free float an M4 barrel and buy good ammo. Which is why the DMR rifles disappeared. They didn’t need fancy barrels to do what they were asking for.

    Guessing this is why Marines are giving up armor......

    I’ve said little about tactics. We’ve quarreled mainly about your poor understanding of the Laws of Armed Conflict. Military doctrine, history and policy aren’t the corporate knowledge of the services. And we wouldn’t expect a naval man to have any more credentials to speak about land conflict...

    Is there such thing as AR15 sniper rifle?

    It would have been a Mk12. I forget which mod. Lots of guys liked 5.56 over 7.62.

    Aircraft are the wrong tool for counter battery fire. So uh...did we win that one?

    Stalin didn’t call artillery the God of War without cause. I should clarify. Artillery wins industrial land wars and similar. The emperors will was broken as of 26 July.
