The Weapons of Marine Recon: Everything You Wanted To Know And More

This is very cool and interesting: A Recon Marine posted a bunch of photos of, and talks about, various weapons and kit that he and his platoon carried in Afghanistan. He also did an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit about it.

Jesus. That first M4 is insane.

Pretty cool to see them using off-set T-1’s with their ACOGs.

What a bunch of funny looking cameras. Wonder if making them look like guns makes if easier to take pictures.

While I think it’s neat for gun guys to see what’s out there, and none of items posted are unheard of, he should have left some of the commentary out. Really don’t see the point of discussing how some equipment works and/or what it’s used for. That’s what SEALs are for :slight_smile:

That’s some good stuff!

NYH1.

The LAW cracks me up.

I have “Ramrod” stenciled on the one I have now.

Thanks for the interesting post

that was an awesome read. thanks for posting it up.

Interesting comments regarding SERPA vs Safariland. His opinion on KAC is pretty funny too.

Funny how this shit isn’t lost on end users.

Also, KAC decided to make 3 different types of this suppressor for the 2 models of Mk11 and the M110 respectively to ensure that you could not interchange them. Why? Because KAC are greedy ****ers and want more money. If it costs the end user some operational flexibility, so be it.

Yeah, since we didn’t want folks to destroy their expensive suppressors, we had the audacity to change pin locations to ensure their safety.
Shooting a suppressor made to use a muzzle device for front end stabilization on a barrel with no muzzle device is going to result in a shot-up can.
