From someone on Imgur:

My Platoon. I am in the upper right sporting my M110 SASS. I really liked the gun and the 3-15x50mm Premier scope, but the old school snipers hated it because it was sometimes easy to over-dial corrections. I didn't have issues with it and liked the extra magnification over the S&B 12x as well as the ability to float the turrets without a hex wrench. I carried 4 mags of 20 rounds as well as an incendiary grenade which could be used to destroy engines, large weapons and other things we didn't want the enemy to have. The incendiary grenade is nice because it is very low collateral unlike destroying said items with explosives. You can also see various other weapons which I will go into detail about.

Too bad more of them don't rock SOPMOD stocks on their M4s.

Dude at the top right: "Aliens!"

Interesting commentary (especially on the M39-much to my satisfaction).

Good post and thanks for taking the time to share.

The M4A1s they are issued come with the standard m4 stock.

It's awesome that you have a pilot carrying a MG!
