The U.S. Marine Corps has picked the Heckler & Koch M27 as its new infantry rifle. Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller confirmed the selection in an interview with Military.com.

The new rifle is part of a wider overhaul of the Marines’ infantry gear. Jarheads are also getting new communications equipment, body armor, suppressors and night-vision optics.

That is GREAT! Plus they’ll be able to use them without calling washington first.

Less that 10% of our infantry is battle ready. only 50% of our aircraft actually fly. And we give billions to illegals and foreign governments.

And they think the M27 will replace M249 in many cases for sustained automatic fire...that remains to be seen.

Is this the same gun used in the best gun fight ever in the Move “Heat”?

[Vendome]

That magazine looks high capacity...

((((Shudder))))

[gaijin]

SAW was...

1. not accurate enough

2. location easily detected by the enemy

3. very high consumption of ammo

I meant “That Clip looks like a high capacity....”

[SpinnerWebb]

Is that similar to the LWRCI M6A2?

Asking for ... a friend.
