Just a vid I found on the tube.  Lot of Been there done that A2s.

USMC Iraq invasion

YAT YAS!

Nice. Barrel-mounted PEQ-2's as well.

And they like to say rooms can't be cleared using A2' s.

Anything CAN be done. However, when there are better options available it doesn't make sense to purposefully handicap yourself. I guarantee those pictured marines would gladly trade their A2 for an M4 of given the chance.

Very valid, & most likely a true statement about the marines. I good sir am referring to the couch commandos. The folks who will only ever believe it's true, if they read it on the internet. Who may have no personal experience with a firearm past some high speed low drag video game.

I was the lucky SOB in my platoon who got to lug around our M240. Now bear in mind that I was in transportation, so that wasn't a great distance to lug that bastard around. I still tried to kiss enough ass to get out of it. If the marines in the video would rather have a M4 over an M16A2, who am I to argue. I never had to clear a house, nor do I ever want to.  

I have a great friend.....with 18 years in the USAF. combat arms......he tells me.....give me an A2 rifle with an Aimpoint on a goose neck mount and I can kick ass.............

Just awesome !    The Alpha Deuce cut loose in her true environment.......
