The Designated Marksman should be using the 7.62x51 mm M14 DMR. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Marine_Corps_Designated_Marksman_Rifle

Don't mess with the Marine with the 30 caliber rifle!

Thanks! This is what I was thinking. I figured the marksman was using a M-14. Does it hold 20? .223 is fine for supression but those windy canyons in Afghan probably need a heavier bullet. I have a Bushie AR Carbine but I get paranoid about stove piping. I want to check out a DSA STG58 or FAL FN.

These kids are so darn brave.
