Same with boxing. You know we don’t teach boxing anymore. Like just basic boxing.
well as soon as the barrels are available I'll probably be building an AR10 with upper to test this out.. I think someone here should so we can see what it's like to shoot. I know they have a bolt action in .277 fury now, but it's not the same as semi auto and we all know that.

It’s a 6mm / .270 caliber we know and have know for a long time that it’s ballistics are better at range than 5.56/.22 or 7.62/.308. It’s just math. what that will do to an AR10 might be interesting from a does the gun survive stand point.
Marines have a brand new course of fire. Instead of starting at the 200yd line and working back to the 500, it now starts at the 500 and works forward like a firefight might. They’ve also taken out some of the old positions and changed what is done where. Marines also now have a Trijicon LPVO instead of the RCO (ACOG).
I wish I was still in just for range, it looks fun to me.

It’s just making the rifle heavier and heavier.
But I was just told in this very thread that our current weapon system is ineffective past 300m. Why would we train past that if our weapons can't do it?
Being sarcastic of course.

We also qualified with 20” barrels. Now I have no idea if everyone is running 14.5. While the IAR guys aren’t, but the rest I have no idea.

So I wonder if we are going to fail to force this on nato like last time and end with with some retarded oddball round.

Lugging the rifle and ruck.ammo and the ansallary shit Is a rough row to hoe
Damn Nato I'm only worried about ours.
My thoughts are if you don't want to die improvise overcome adapt if they don't go out 300.start there
And figure out how far.
I guess I'm a closet sociopath but truth is I don't want to die. I'm going to figure out how to kill you
I don’t believe anyone said it was ineffective at that range just not optimal, especially with just red dots. The Marines have been training at 500yds for decades and didn’t get an optic until mid 2000s. I used a M16A2 with irons in boot and got a M16A4 with RCO (ACOG) a couple of years later. Could have gotten a M4 when I got promoted later but I liked the 20” barrel.
