Mk12s are no longer SF weapons; they are now DM general issue. DMR M-14s are about as common in the Fleet as liberals.

And when did you serve?

I did my stint in 83-87.

Lying sack of $hit. The closest you have even been to a Marine is while you’re playing FPS video games or you were the stupidest Marine that ever made it through basic.

The M14 is the weapon used by the DM’s in both the US Army and the USMC. And had you spent 5 minutes reading those lame ass links you left, you’d realize that every one of your assertions expose you as a wannabe. You probably think you’re some kind of bad ass because you made a 1500 yard head shot in HALO. That don’t cut it in the real world.

And don’t try to bullshit your way out of your “clip” statement. Any real weapons expert would have known exactly what I was talking about. But HALO doesn’t teach you that does it? What you did do is go to this wiki entry to try to bail your ignorant ass out….

Semper Fi

They had a twenty-something Iraq vet on Hannity the other day. His Words of Wisdom:

“I’m just glad I could finally vote for someone who did not look like me”

Seriously, WTF

What made his actions even more impressive was the fact that he didn’t miss any shots, despite the enemies’ rounds impacting within a foot of his fighting position.

So…Aziz! How’s that Jihad incentive pay working for you?

In the comments following the news release at military.com you find a notably Marine comment:

I don’t get it. I mean where’s the news here? Marines are outnumbered and attacked. Marines attack in response. Enemy die in large numbers. Enemy aba…

And just like that Jeff Dunham has 20 more puppets.

SILENCE!!! I kill you!!!

But no the M110 won’t get down to Squad level- it’s too big and heavy. The Mk12 is better suited to the Squad Designated Marksman, as it is a lot smaller and lighter- a big plus, since the DM has to maneauver with his squad, kick down doors, etc.

The M-14 is an archaic piece, best relegated to the museum.

The last massive concerted cyber attack on Pentagon from chicomm totally pissed me off. Is there such a thing as cyber vigilante from our own side of the communitiies? And I don’t mean the DoD guys.

Next time such attack occurs, shouldn’t we make clear that those people and sponsored sites will be punished severly?

You have any personal info about the M110?

BohicaTwentyTwo on November 25, 2008 at 11:27 AM

On this subject it’s best to ignore this idiot. He gets all his info from wiki and then doesn’t read the entire article. Wiki entries can be added by any idiot with a wiki account and are notoriously untrustworthy.

First: As a Marine DMR, his weapon was probably a Mk12
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_Mark_12_Mod_0_Special_Purpose_Rifle

Or the Squad Advanced Marksman rifle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Marine_Corps_Squad_Advanced_Marksman_Rifle

Or even a regular M-16A4 with ACOG
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle

Bwahahahahahhaa!!!!Love that wiki don’t cha?

1) This was not a special forces unit, so your MK12 link is BS.

2) The Marine in the article was not from the II Marine Expeditionary Force. The 22nd, 24th, and 26th were the only units assigned the SAM-R. So, AGAIN, your assertion and link are total bullshit.

3) More blathering from an obvious wannabe. Since it was proven that your first two links are total bullshit, that leaves only one weapon left for the DM to use…..And since you love wiki sooooo much, choke on this……

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Marine_Corps_Designated_Marksman_Rifle#Applications

Do the group a favor will you moron……shut your pie hole until you get educated on the subject.

csdeven, it is called a “magazine”, NOT a “clip”.

pseudonominus on November 25, 2008 at 10:54 AM

Yes, in your world…but in my world where I have modified the receiver, we use clips.

Disregard. The M110 is being used by the Army, not Marines.

BohicaTwentyTwo on November 25, 2008 at 11:32 AM

No, the Marines will get the M110 also.

But that is for Snipers, not Designated Marksmen.

If you’ve read any of the Stephen Hunter penned Bob Lee Swagger novels you know what a sniper is, and does. That’s just fiction — here’s the real deal!
“The biggest thing to take from that day is what Marines can accomplish wh…

40 year old cigs to go with yer Snake and Limas!

May we all learn from their example of courage.

“It was a good day for the Marine Corps. We killed a lot of bad guys, and none of our guys were seriously injured.”

BohicaTwentyTwo, when I was in the Army in the mid 70s, the M110 was an 8 in. self-propelled howitzer. I guess nowadays less really is more!

I know some Marine snipers in Afghanistan are using these:

Are these not going to go down the squad level? You have any personal info about the M110?
