…Infantry Automatic Rifles. "Last week, the U.S. Marine Corps released a Request for Information to manufacturers enquiring about their capacity to produce 11,000 more M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles. This stoked rumors that the Marine Corps is looking to replace its M4s with the M27, which were first sparked last November when 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines was equipped with the M27 instead of the M4 during pre-deployment exercises as an experiment. The RFI for 11,000 M27s could indicate a possible push to replace the M249, which continues to be used by weapons platoons. However, I believe it is more likely that the Corps is simply looking to add more Infantry Automatic Rifles to its inventory. Currently, Marine infantry battalions typically have over 80 Infantry Automatic Rifles distributed at the fireteam level. Just 11,000 new rifles will not re-equip the riflemen of the Corps' 32 infantry battalions, but it will enhance their firepower and perhaps pave the way for future orders…"

The BUG is everywhere……. Nice looking buildings. First time I've seen them matched up with paper coverings, which is a good idea. |

"How we can kill the BUG???" Nuke the site from the orbit.
It is the only way to be sure. |

I don't even think that will work, since the BUG is all-knowing, and is having its minions throw space rocks at us on a regular basis, just to taunt us, and show how superior it is to humanity, as a reminder that we are powerless to resist. |

If the USMC believes it needs the M27s. They should get it … anything that makes their job easier. Plus helps bring them back live. Should be a priority, IMO. And yeah … those are nice building. So this Bug is like multi-tasking !  |

Glad you like them my good friend!. (smile)
