The History of Self-Loading Squad Sharpshooter Rifles & Training

[LRRPF52]

Care to elaborate for those of us who haven't seen the report?

No need, you can simply watch someone stack insurgent bodies to the sky:

This actually might be a 20" gun, but there aren't a lot of guys who will mess with an SPR anymore, since they are shooting a lot of suppressed, and the 14.5" guns are about as long as you want to go. I have the ballistics charts comparisons for 14.5" vs. 18" with 77gr, 62gr, and 55gr. It isn't a huge difference. In a lot of places in the world, I would be totally happy with an 11.5" carbine with a higher-end barrel and 77gr, 70gr TSX, 62gr SOST, and even 62gr M855, while in the DM role. An 11.5" gun hits pretty freaking hard at 300m, even with 55gr.

Code:

Barrel length - 20", 16", 14.5", 11.5", 10.25" LC M193 - 3255, 3145, 3075, 2884, 2767 Q3131A - 3152, 3051, 2951, 2732, 2605 IMI M193 - 3131, 3032, 2917, 2726, 2598 REM UMC - 3122, 3001, 2878, 2705, 2499

If the barrel is accurate, which a lot of 11.5" heavy barrels are, it makes a sweet little DM carbine with the right optics and trained shooter.
