"New military rifle lighter, more powerful"

Confusing headline. Sounds like a description of a rifle shaped cigarette lighter. Perhaps a comma after "rifle" or even a period.

Or, God forbid, they us the word "is". As in "New military rifle is lighter, more powerful."

Thanks in large part to Fox, use of any form of the verb "to be" is a sin these days in newsrooms across the nation.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
