[@CanukIsNotAGoose]

are these infantry marines or force recon marines?

[@Richy0352]

Yes

[@AngelRamirez-qy1xe]

Infantry…. They’ve been getting upgraded for the last 3/4 years.
I mean… They are one of first into battle its about time they get some SOF gear.

[@question2943]

​@@AngelRamirez-qy1xethe 2nd portion of the video is Recon

[@Nathan-eu7iw]

I was thinking the same thing

[@AlvarezCarlLawrence]

Uncle Sam all the way babyyyyyy!

[@rafaelalodio5116]

Are those the M27?

[@Jknight416]

2:24 Are those HK416A5 that these marines are shooting with?

[@FOBBITS_]

Short barrel m27

[@sambumgardner3480]

A5 uppers on M27 marked lowers.It's called the Recon Weapons Kit. Issued out to Battalion Reconnaissance Marines so they have flex for certain missions. But if you give someone the option they will usually take the shorter, i.e. lighter, gun.

[@AngelRamirez-qy1xe]

MARSOC is a special operations force, where as Marine Recon is special infantry. They're two of the Marine Corps' most capable and effective assets. Their missions might differ, but each receives some of the best training the military has to offer…
I think this is MARSOC ?

[@unknowngoose8704]

force recon, recon marines that are usually more experienced and stationed on boats

[@question2943]

This isnt Marsoc this is Recon

[@faituhl]

Marsoc faces would be blurred

[@FPSKorea0311]

First part of the video are all conventional infantry. 1st Battlion 6th Marines that make the Battalion Landing Team for the Bataan Amphibious Landing Group. The Marines with the short-barrel M27s shown after 2:06 are Reconnaissance Marines. At 3:56, the video goes back to conventional infantry with 1/6's SSP/Scout platoon dudes. MARSOC doesn't float on MEUs.

US 🇺🇲 MARINES M4A1 CARBINE 소총이냐 M27 소총 HK-416 소총이냐

[@Gridlocked]

M4A1 and M27.

[@wildbill9490]

Couldn't they make a 12.5" or 13" barrel upper for the M27 for this kind of thing? These 11.5" barrels they're using feel a little too short compared to the usual 16.5" length.

[@SodaPrezsing]

They’re operating on ships so SBRs are king

[@DirtyMikeandTheBoys69]

At 2:35, whats the setup of those Mk18s?
