New Army Rifle Gives Squads the Ability To Reach Out and Touch Bad Guys
The M110 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle will be rolled out soon after being deemed fit for soldiers, according to the Army.
Chambered in 7.62, the M110 will provide operators with the ability to project power in a way the standard 5.56 round simply can’t.
With a range of 800 meters, the rifle is more than capable of reaching out and touching anyone intent on doing harm to America.
The rifle, manufactured by Heckler & Koch, is a variant of a design based on the AR-15 platform. This means soldiers who already have experience on the Army’s M4 carbine should have an easy time adjusting to the magazine-fed rifle.
Topping the rifle will be a variable 6x magnification Sig Sauer scope, according to a news release from the company.
In addition to the M4 carbine and M249 machine gun, this will allow soldiers to be more flexible in a number of ways.
For one, the rifle’s heavier rounds mean its shots are more predictable at long range. Coupled with the standard riflescope, this means any bad guy wanting to challenge an Army squad in its range is going to have a rough time.
The more powerful 7.62 round also gives the rifle more lethality and the ability to punch through cover that the 5.56 round might not be able to.
