I'm here with Dave Davis we're going to talk a little bit about the m110 now
I've got a lot of hours behind the old Mark eleven sr25 Dave: As well as i Karl: when they first
showed up the group 15-20 years ago we had a lot of issues with the new ones
and I swore I don't ever want to see sr-25 again Towers fall would get ready
to head over to the Box heading to Afghanistan they show up for our sniper
teams now don't want him these are pieces of junk we took him out to the
range to prove that they were junk long behold that latest generation of Mark
11's they were awesome. nothing but great experience with them initial
invasion of Afghanistan Iraq multiple multiple trips through Africa back to
Iraq nothing but great things to say about it so good was it for SOCOM that
big army said wow this is great we want to get our hands on it contract goes out
and it was built specifically to bring that mark 11 into the Regular Army it's
somehow morphed into this m110 tell us a little bit about it, Dave
Like yourself started off on the mark 11 many years ago and I saw my first mark 11
Somali when we develop a need for it semi-automatic gun let's talk about the
positives here bolt gun versus some automatic 20 round magazine Karl: definitely
Dave: we're talking the other day about some clay pigeons and a little
demonstration you did let's let's talk about the good stuff some automatic
capability in today's war fighters very modular system adjustable at the pull
cheek piece semi-automatic even haven't seen on any of the m4 series rifles
empty directories controls down there Karl: nice Dave: yeah and the m4 is now going all
after directors in the military because of the success of that selector lever so
modular system up here suppress your capability first time big army seen
suppressed weapon systems and with the success of that I'm starting the little
guns as well Karl: it's definitely add it's not so much getting rid of the sound it
gets rid of the signature so if you're shooting through that
little loophole and you're trying to keep the light flash down so they don't
see the little flashlight going on going on in the hole or if you're outside
shooting on the deck and a dusty environment it really does cut down a
lot of the flash cuts down a lot of signature Dave: well we hear the word silencer
a lot let's really call it what is it's a suppressor you're going to
be if you're engaged you're going to say somebody over there shot at me with this
suppressor it can be over there with unsuppressed it's right there Karl: right there
big kind of muffles and it suppresses not silences especially with the
supersonic ammunition Karl: and it being semi-auto very very quick follow-up
shots and honestly I don't want to bring a bolt gun to a gunfight I'll be honest I
know bolt guns are TAC drivers if I want to shoot from that third story
window I've got to do CQB all the way up to that third story window I'll run this
without the suppressor in close and my up drills aren't quite as fast as the
assaulter with the 556 but you practice with it and you can do double taps
control pairs pretty quick with this thing Dave: crank it down to three and a half
power put your 20 round magazine in it you know make a believer out of you
Karl: you know the old little pulled scope cap you bump that little thing it pops up got the
little nubs on the side you put that left and right of the melon that round
goes right through the middle every time. Dave: there you go
that's experience you're talking from there and it takes all current night vision as well as any
lasers we have available to us everything from the twos to the 15s and
to the newest, the greater stuff but you know you're going to find some
guys that run around Baghdad with this thing adapt so they're gonna have to say
a lot of good things about this gun ballistically setup for the m1 weight LR
it's got B DC on there you dial and shoot dial and shoot you know you got
those people out there that the fan of the the newer ways are doing it but this
is a very user-friendly gun very user-friendly gun and it gives you admit
a much more enhanced capability over our standard m4556
Karl: Definitely, without a doubt.
Alright, that's the basic breakdown
of the m110 the semi-auto sniper weapon
