[h=2]Infantry students get hands-on with Corps' new automatic weapon[/h]

The M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle looks similar to an M16 rifle and is meant to be operated similarly as well. The IAR will replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, giving Marines a lighter, more precise weapon to use while deployed.

The M27 is a heavily modified HK416 with a 16 inch heavy barrel Acog 5x sight (note the mini Red dot mounted on top of that) and Fore grip. Also Note the HK stock and pistol Grip.
The Down side of the system is At this time The Marines do not Issue magazines of Larger capacity 30 then rounds. And They just started a Crack down On Non issue gear so The Jar Head packing this is going too be lacking the ammo too feed Auto fire.
There are a number of High cap mags on the market for use at the moment before O kills them off.
