Quoted: When did the USMC start issuing M4 carbines? I know for a fact that the recon guys use them. They are probably recon, look at the helmets, those are the newer ones. Smaller compared to the standard issue version. Notice the guy in the second to last pic... Looks like he has a PVS-17 (?) optic and a sound suppressor on that gun. Good job, Thumbhole ! Thx. |

Hmmmm... and no SAWs visible. The guy in pic 5 (humping the big pack with the antenna) has the same M4 w/ suppressor and night vision setup. |
