Is this sniper team marines or Scout Rangers?
 Identified by some at militaryphotos as SR sniper spotter but others say they are PMC Force Recon.  -------------------- BEHOLD...THE BRINGER OF LIGHT!

 Is it just me or the sniper and the spotter are wearing BDUs with different camo pattern? -------------------- The outcome of the war is in our hands; the outcome of words is in the council.

Opus' website says that it is a Scout Ranger team. But from the differences of the uniform, I'd say that the one on the left is a Marine spotter while the one on the right is Scout Ranger. Here's another pic from Opus' site showing a Marine spotter (with the M14) and sniper (with the Barret):  Again, differing camo patterns. So I'm still confused. -------------------- You may have superior weaponry, but you're out of ammo, and I've still got plenty of rocks.

 These guys probably changed places during the photo op, the sniper with the Barrett and the sniper with the M21/M14 picture wear the same cammies and the soldier with the M203 and the spotter with the M14 wear the same cammies.  -------------------- One little two little three little four little...

thank you mr guest for the clrarification and the websites , i went to the mssr site and was saddened by the fact that the rifle has only tasco or bushnell scopes which are good scopes for general marksmanship but not exactly for sniping and also for the info that the marines have no accurized m14s but just standard m14s, i know that our marine snipers are capable shooters but with modern kit their abilities wiill be enhanced further.

Marine Doctrines require 3 types of rifles for thier needs in: primary for 600 meters company level DMR's 5.56mm intermediate from 600 to 900 meters 7.62mm Remington 700 for battalion level long range cal 50 m-95 barrets. each have distinct advantages of the other see: http://www.philippinemarinecorps.mil.ph/c6_sniperdev.html |

BTW it is not the weapon but the man behind the weapon that counts. History of military warfare will attest to this. Your marines will always be a force to count on in time of need we assure you to our best ability. http://www.philippinemarinecorps.mil.ph/c6_sniperdev.html |
