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...
the british LSW has been reroled as a marksman weapon Aka " the crow cannon" being a bullpup it has an extra long barrel to get the maximum performance out of 5.56mm ammo
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 mOriginally Posted by Hellman109
Israeli Dude,
i once read about the IDF having a concept called "Assault Snipers". Can you give me information on that?
Btw, first post, hi all!
once read about the IDF having a concept called "Assault Snipers". Can you give me information
- 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

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!"A commercial equivalent would cost somewhere between twenty-eight and thirty-two thousand dollars a piece," he said.![]()
change the thousand to hundred and he's about right
