I have heard that early in the GWOT before the SDM-R that the Army used the M16A4 as a designated marksman rifle... Is that true? If so how well did it perform? I like Knowledge

Crazy J, the greatest sniper in the history of snipers used a M16A4 for that 30 mile killshot. 
For serious though, IIRC each platoon had a designated marksman, they had an A4 with an Acog and bipod, they also had OTM ammo to go with it. I think each line troop had a Barret, but they didn't take them out much. They sent the designated marksmen to the range at Stewart to train with the A4 before we deployed. |
