Yeah, it did get off topic a bit.

But I'll admit, I learned a bit form that.

Yes - to make the really obvious point for you, a shorter barrell also reduces accuracy

I was going to make a lengthy argument on this, but decided that enough is enough. Us gun nuts should have a thread about this so not to bore the big part of this comunity!! There should be an evil smiley hereat this point, but you just have to imagine one!

Anyway to the dev's: the question still stands, Have you reduced the damage for the silenced SPR or have you kept it as the same as the M-16?

'[R-DEV wrote:Wraith']I don't mean to be a jerk here but just because one unit tested it doesn't make it SOP for all Corps Snipers.

At this moment it is not on all Marine sniper weapons, I never said it was. I have no idea what percentage have been converted, but since it started in December, I'd think that more still have the Unertl than the new one. But we also don't have an M40A3 yet. If we ever do, it will be meant for future play. And while it isn't standard equipment today, it will be. That's what the second link was about. Its first paragraph:

"Schmidt & Bender has agreed with the United States Marine Corps to supply all Scout Rifle Day Scopes for use on the Corps' sniper weapons. A modified version of the Schmidt & Bender 3-12 x 50 Police Marksman LP II scope will become standard equipment on all .308 and .50 caliber USMC sniper rifles."
