USMC to replace M249 SAW with M27 IAR

[DRG]

200m Rapid Fire (head & shoulder silhouette, 19x26in bulls-eye

300m Rapid Fire (head & shoulder silhouette, 26x19in bulls-eye, 6x6ft overall)

Just so I'm clear the 200 and 300 rapid fire target is the same just turned 90 degrees ?

No same target, 19x26in ... I just typo'd.

The target doesn't move.
You start out standing with 2x 5-round magazines.
When the signal is given the 60 seconds starts.
You assume a sitting (200m) or prone (300m) position, fire a 5-round magazine, change magazines, fire the other 5-rounds.

They've added a "quick kill"/"shoot-no-shoot" course in addition to the standard qualification course I hear. While I've never fired it chances are it is very similar to the one we Military Police types used when I was in. Pretty much the course you see on TV all the time in American police shows.
