    Good luck with that. Pararescue is a great job, if you are men­tally strong enough. If you don’t make it, I’ll be see­ing you soon. All the AFSF trainees that wash out end up in AMMO.

    Can we please ever see a gun or tac­ti­cal school demon­stra­tion where the shooter does not weigh 380 lbs?

    WJS, this is not a tac­ti­cal school. That indi­vid­ual was a part of a Special Forces group due to leave for over­seas soon. He might be over­weight but my guess is he can shoot bet­ter than you.

    You don’t need to be heavy to effec­tively use a 7.62 SCAR. It looks a lot eas­ier to con­trol and carry than the M-​​14 of my under­stand­ing and with the swap out bar­rels, it’s a winner.

    Hmmm, it seems to have a lot of kick. Then again it is a 7.62. I won­der if the bar­rel chang­ing abil­ity dimin­ishes accu­racy. Since it is a locked in rather than a solid bar­rel. I guess we will see, but lighter and more power is always better!

    So far as the kick goes, that was the 5.56 x 45 Mk16.
    So far as the 380 lbs pile of chewed bub­blegum goes, hey, what can I say. There’s strong and then there’s ‘Army Strong’.
    Still, I hope we get the Mk17s, not a fan of 5.56 for stop­ping any­thing big­ger than a large rab­bit. Character flaw, I guess.…..

    I would pre­fer the Masada from MagPul in 6.8 cal.

    Didn’t say it was a “tac­ti­cal school”. I sim­ply made men­tion of the fact that every time I see a video of some­one test­ing a weapon or a group of peo­ple shoot­ing they seem to have an “over­abun­dance of mass”. Hey if that guy is Special Forces and can get the job done who cares. I just never see slim peo­ple fir­ing weapons.
    As for my shoot­ing abil­ity. Have you ever seen me shoot? And who evac­u­ated their blad­der in your Cheerios?

    I would also pre­fer the Magpul Masada (Bushmaster ACR). It’s low recoiled, and can hold 5.56x45 NATO and 7.26x39.
