[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3115962, member: 40091"] Because of the open ranges in Afghan, the Talibeaners have been using MGs and to harass our guys. The good thing is, MGs aren't that accurate at 800 plus meters. Instead of getting up in the high ground and engaging them our guys are mostly conducting security patrols in vehicles. Not the best strategy. As it is. A basic Light Inf Platoon has 2x 7.62mm M240 gun teams, 6x 5.56mm LMGs, and 3x 7.62mm M14s to handle long range targets. This isn't a caliber issue. Its a political issue. Its how the peace keeping missions go, instead of conducting combat operations to eradicate the Taliban. [/QUOTE]
