The above link is an interesting review from the soldiers standpoint, on the +/- of the weapons and gear currently involved in the war effort.

Thought it may be of interest to the AR community- esspecially the M4 or Barrett fan.

Good and interesting reading, although I'm skeptical of the observation that they were splitting people in half from 1400 meters with the .50 BMG...

there are a number of interesting reports- many involving the AR-15/m-16 (var) available from this source. In fact, everything from the AC-130 Gunship to the M-9 Beretta, weapons and systems are reviewed and discussed.

some are tedious, some are very good...................For those interested:

A sniper who just left my base was using armor peircing incindiary rounds on personnel from his Barrett. He said they just vaporize.

How?  Even those suicide bombers packing explosives don't just vaporize.
