    a CAR-15 barrel on a marksmans rifle? why would they use atleast a full length barrel? seems a bit counter productive...

    Seems like they all have very short barrels, which seems odd considering there for marksmen...

    because thoe "marksmen" arent` really, they are let say "better" shooters" whom you can trust if needing to take out one guy throwing grenades or cocktail molotov for instance.He is not the guy taking a head shot at 500 meters, rather the one taking a knee cap at 50 to 150 m

    • those assault snipers are called in hebrew[kala saar]and they belong to squads and platoons they are integrated part of mentioned above units,their role is to take out most important targets before the squad or platoon advance or charge on the enemy

    Lance Cpl. Jeremy R. Riddle, designated marksman for Task Force Kabul, looks through his scope of his designated marksman rifle, (modified M-14) at any threats on and outside the U.S. Embassy compound here in Kabul, Afghanistan. He is here to assist the task force in gathering information and precision marksmanship. The task force is part of the 4th Marine Expeditionary Brigade (Anti-Terrorism)

    KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Jan. 8, 2002) -- Sgt. Jason E. Capozzoli, a 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (SOC) Force Reconnaissance Marine from Tallahassee, Fla., gets acquainted with the Corps' new M-14 DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle). Eight of the nine rifles manufactured by precision weapons repairmen at MCCDC Quantico, Va., were sent here for testing during Operation Enduring Freedom.

    Sgt. Andrew D. Pomykal who wrote that article needs to knock a zero of that number - $32 000 for an accurized M14? Give me a break!
