While I think the Stryker itself is a mistake, one of the things they did well with the new interim brigades is beef up the sniper count. I think there are 3 times more snipers than in a normal infantry unit.
Notice that this guy is in a line company. In standard units, snipers are all in the Battalion HQ. |

Davis has taken most of his shote while on the move, from distances of 100-300 yards. On Dec. 20, he killed one sniper with a single shot from a .50-caliber XM-107 rifle from 750 yards away. "This is the first time I have in ever been in a combat situation," Davis says. "Really, it was just like targets downrange. You just hit your target and acquire your next target. "I thought I'd have a harder time shooting," he says. "Shooting someone is pretty unnatural." |

Great article. I am glad to see that the author doesn't seem to have any problem with the way SGT Davis operates. |

Also another point of proof that skills of an individual rifleman will always be beneficial -even in these days of high tech weapons.

I don't know why these so called "experts" need a M14.The mouse gun is the most deadly platform known to man.
Just to clarify things I've got 3 mouse guns but I'm grabbing my M1A when the shit gets deep. |

Kinda gives me a warm fuzzy to know an old warhorse dinosaur is being dragged out of mothballs and put to good use.
The M-14, that is. |
