After the entire god damn war

All the section’s firepower is that fucking SAW

I dunno. A gunner is a gunner is a gunner

0351

And now it’s gone for a slightly heavier rifle that’s slightly more accurate shooting the same cartridge with the same capacity

They carry what they get assigned

It isn't split by weapon magically

It is making due with what they have

A dog’s-breakfast of an article at Marine Corps Times suggests that the Marines are considering issuing the M27 IAR, now issued to squad automatic riflemen, for issue to all riflemen — not all Marines, in the sense of “every Marine is a rifleman,” but to MOS 0311 Riflemen

That second article is spot on

It's just a god damn m16A1 modernized

We went burst fire under the logic Marines can't hit shit on full auto and waste ammo in Nam

Here we are

It is all a cycle

they figured out that F/A is nice for room clearing

Karl of InRangeTV seems to think the IAR is tits

but I don't understand why

It's not a bad rifle

It's pretty good

when they did a lightweight AR build

IAR is a porker by comparison

and their WWSD builds arent piston

"external piston"

Oh yeah no the IAR is a fat cunt

12lb AR or 14lb MK46...hmmmm

i know the russians use RPKs, but I think the shift towards mag fed SAWs is due to smaller regional conflicts and not total war

just like the OVERMATCH theory coming out of afghanistan

I don't get mag-fed SAWs

You kind of defeat the purpose

but they can share mags with everyone else

isn't that wonderful?

I think it's a pretty cool change. The 243 was pretty fun though.

If yur SAW needs to use grunt mags you're fucked anyway

they’re basically switching out their SAWs for LSWs

let's see

how many mags fit in the space of one 249 box

and what's the ammo difference
