Daniel Daniel dude that guy is a fuckin tool. “I kNoW wHaT yOu’Re ThInKiNg Of BrO”. Who the fuck asked this guy? Every single fucking unit from Recon to Rangers to SEALs to Green Berets to Pararescue and more bust their fucking ass to do their difficult job. If this dickrider cares more about Pararescue, then he should say so. But trying to act all cool and tell people what their thinking? Lmao. Everyone should believe him and like what he likes? Bet he doesn’t know Pararescue gets made fun of on the daily by operators that actually have to run and gun for not knowing barely anything to keep up when it comes to shooting, or having the discipline to be self-correcting by studying their AAR’s and actually making a fucking plan for their mission. But he knows something everyone else doesn’t, DaWg!

Interesting to see the different attachments on each Marine's rifles. I wonder what's actually allowed

[@JordonHuff]

Force Recon gets almost a SOCOM level of leeway when it comes to such things. The only leeway regular infantrymen get is what vertical grip they can slap on, even then you might not be able to use anything other than what the armory gives you.

[@tewkewl]

It's a totally different non redundant capability. Combined arms self contained spec ops capable unit of battalion size with full air support, that's some big time stuff. Marsoc are really force multipliers and seals are a small unit direct action unit. Coast guard does vbss mainly for drug runners. All have different jobs. But all bad asses. Love em all

Anyone know what length barrels on those rifles?

I think the most of the guns they are using are M4 SOPMOD block 2s, so that would make the barrel 14.5 inches.
