Question about Weapons/Rifles - Marine Corps Community for USMC Marine Veterans

ChknSanwch · 01-07-07, 04:13 PM

A friend of mine that recently graduated from PI was telling me about a few new weapons of the USMC..he had to stay behind a few weeks longer than anyone along with a few other recruits to 'test' out the new weapons..yet he would not tell me or anyone else what they were/are. Any ideas of what they were? Im just curious about what he might be talking about.

Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like he "stuck around" for Maggies drawers to me!

I am pretty sure they would not "test" any new weapons on any boots. Thats what experienced line units are for.

Maybe it was a "super secret" mission that they couldn't trust to Marines who already had some service!

They must have gotten to fire the "Top Secret" weapons right after their Recon Indoc, You know, the one right after Boot Camp

Is that the one they go through right before they are air dropped behind enemy lines?

But before they finish AIT/ITR!

Maybe since it was gonna be a beach assault should have sent the lad to supply for some washing machine tokens and a thousand feet of shore line.

They did test some kind of weird pinball machine looking marksmanship trainer on recruits a few years ago. When I saw it my first thought was, where do I put the washing machine token. It was designed to help them poor lads that couldn't hit a bullsass with a boat paddle.

Make sure while he's at it he picks up a box of grid squares.

I don't suppose this friend of yours has a few extra pounds on him, does he? Ask him if he tested the new "roll-back canon" or the "fatbody mortar." Maybe that new PCP rifle is coming online.
