And a shitload of better training. Make one E6 per Company the Small Arms Master Gunner and have that individual receive professional training. Units like the 75th and SFG could send MTTs to all major posts with a "train the trainer" approach. The trained E6s/senior E5s return to their Company and then train all of the other NCOs, who in turn train their respective Soldiers.
There's nothing wrong with what we have. It doesn't matter if they gave us portable nukes, if we can't hit the intended target, what's the point?
Isn't this what Asymmetric Warfare Group does, or at least part of it? Just expand that unit instead of pulling from operational SOF. It would be a huge improvement either way though. An extended free float rail would be the biggest material upgrade. A better lubricant and the knowledge to go along with it, as well as the knowledge about magazines almost always being the issue...
He's talking about two different things. The ballistic effectiveness and reliability. Clearly he knows little of either, just what he's read in Army Times or may have seen personally, but not truly understood. Big surprise there. Being an Infantry LTC alone doesn't mean you know jack shit about any of this. And his writing style bugs the hell out of me.
