    Sorry to derail the thread but who are these guys in these pics? The front guy in the third pic looks like he is carrying a FAMAS.

    Back on topic. I know my sniper friends in my 05 tour in Iraq would have loved a M110. Their longest shot of that tour was only 350 meters and they frequently were shooting at groups where the semi auto would have really helped.

    They're French -- I believe they are carrying limited numbers of HK 417s, not Knights'.

    I have some now for the Aussies and their 417's. How about the Norwegians and the Belgians.......

    The more of these I see the more I think I'm wrong about using a 5.56 DMR. At least I've always held it out as a PLT level tool.....

    The French were south of Kandhar when I was there in 2004 so they have been there for quite a while.

    It doesn't point itself.

    You can hand any troop in the squad a Light Saber -- doesn't make him Carlos Hathcock.
