Lots of fail in this one...
- Thread starter hlee
- Start date
I particularly like this section
"The modified HK G28 will replace the Army’s current SDMR, the M110 SASS 7.62 compact sniper rifle. The last significant change was in 2010 when the Army aimed to standardize sniper rifles in use and introduced the M110 to replace models like the M14 (modified Remington 700).
For starters, this will be a harder-hitting rifle than the rifle it replaces. The goal is to provide infantry soldiers with an upgraded, deadly capability (to defeat body armor)."
This only helps confirm that journalism died years ago.

sooooo.....the army needs a new rifle because their current 7.62 cannot penetrate body armor......so they are going to replace it with another rifle that is capable of penetrating body armor.....but fires the same 7.62 ammo that cannot penetrate body armor..
........did i read that right?......

So much quality writing there.....
The new 7.62mm rifles will provide so much better penetration on body armor than the previous 7.62mm rifle....

Sweet Jesus... Hard to tell if this article may have originated with Rolling Stone or The Onion
"The last significant change was in 2010 when the Army aimed to standardize sniper rifles in use and introduced the M110 to replace models like the M14 (modified Remington 700)."
"One of the military upgrades to the civilian rifle is the G28’s green and brown camouflage looks."

I think you did. I had to check again, but yeah... That stupid shit was actually said.
Rifles gonna run about 12,200 a pop according to the numbers in the article. I guess that's about average.
What do you expect from a News Corp article?
Real, actual facts written by somebody that knows WTF they are writing about? If so, move right along because foxnews.com has definitely taken a NY Post-esque tone with their 'writing'.
(and I'm not saying NBC News, CNN, Gannett, etc. are any better)

That entire article is a shill piece for H&K, all too common in this day and age of big time defense contracts. This is what happens when the MSM hires a British former pro ballet dancer and barrister turned so-called defense consultant as a writer, she's really just a mouthpiece with tits trumpeting paid for corporate press releases under the guise of reporting, fake news by definition. Despite writing in a genre you won't see other MSM outlets reporting on, they so could have done better than this clueless bitch.
From everything I see on her bio, she's never served day one in uniform but she's a self proclaimed "War Expert", whatever the fuck that means. http://allisonbarrie.co.uk/bio/ I say only one man breathing today can claim to be a War Expert, and he also goes by "Chaos" or more currently "Mr. Secretary" and recently disassembled ISIS in less than a year.

There is more journalistic integrity to be found in the The Onion than Rolling Stone.
