New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

Copied From MCWP 3-15.1, 1996, Machine Guns and Machine Gun Gunnery –

a. Light Machine Guns/Automatic Rifles. The light machine gun (LMG) classification...

I have been told a rewrite is being done with the M27 IAR classified in category a. above. and I hope this is acceptable for all parties.

I see the Corps does distinguish between LMGs and automatic rifles, even though the two different weapon types are lumped together in the same category.

However, it's not important enough to engage in further debate about it. Please proceed.
