Re: Suhiir's Revised USMC OOB #13
The USMC cut it's teeth playing sniper with a musket from the rigging. So marksmanship has always been a very high priority.
When the M16A1 was the standard rifle the US Army's official weapons manual gave it a maximum effective range of 460m. The USMC however continued to require all recruits to quality at ranges up to 500m.
