me her husband just got back from the "Stans". Her husband is an Army Warrant Officer in Logistics. According to her they are issuing M14's still for at least one per squad as the M16/M4 does not have the reach to hit at the ranges they have to shoot at. I had heard this before as I like to track how the old guns are still in use today. Yep, I am living in the past but it is still fun when the Army or Marines go back to what worked before and use the new stuff for backup...... I have wondered if at least one or two M1 Garrands might of made it to the desert or to Afganistan. 30-06 allows you to really reach out and touch someone. Of course the 338 Lapua or 50 BMG is the go to for long range but who wants to carry around a 30-40 pound gorilla for a rifle? I wonder where the quest for new weapons will ultimately lead to. Perhaps to miniaturized rail guns or some such other type of gun. Fun to speculate.
