Caliber:5.56x45mm MK.262

U.S. Navy Mk.12 Mod 0 / 1 Special Purpose Rifle (Special
Purpose Rifle, referred to as SPR) has been the U.S. Army,
Navy and Marine Corps special forces in Operation Enduring
Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom used. SPR initially said
that it meant Special Purpose Receiver (Special Purpose Receiver),
this can change the composition of the upper casing SOPMOD
upgrades are part of the plan, but an M4 carbine to replace
the casing Shiyou be another such separate kinds of weapons
systems, not just one of the SOPMOD accessories. Therefore,
SPR also said that special purpose rifle.
SPR has been designated as the Navy Mk.12, seals in 2002,
started to accept this weapon, but the Army Special Forces
also use this name.
SPR program is for the U.S. Army and Navy special forces
(NAVSPECWAR) to provide an effective range than the M4 style
carbine far shorter length than the standard M16A2/A4 light
sniper rifle. This weapon system was originally from Ma Kewei
Estero (Mark Westrom) plan, when he was working at the Rock
Island Arsenal, and now chairman at ArmaLite. But SPR seem
to have with the planned SOPMOD Block 4 and the Navy Seals
"reconnaissance rifle" together has been canceled.
Reason is that special forces for such "light sniper
rifle" does not seem cold. Firearms in a foreign forum,
There have been a SEAL team Huitie that SPR is "dog feces,"
refers to its "power is weak, with a range too close,
not suitable for sniping mission." In fact SPR with the
Army's SDM-R and the Marine Corps SAM-R the same, perhaps
the emphasis on special forces raid Kuaijinkuaichu do not
love war, is responsible for monitoring or flank guard sort
of combat personnel would rather he chose to take aim Mirror
assault rifles; while if it is necessary to use semi-automatic
sniper rifles the task, they have a lightweight, long range
and accurate Mk11 Mod 0, so such as the SPR is not high not
low "intermediate" sniper rifle is simply useless
field. (The above analysis is purely personal speculation)
Although the SPR rifle prospects dim, but recently it is
still found in Iraq appear in photographs. In civil, SPR rifles,
imitation (with the whole gun has converted parts, commonly
known as "SPR clones") has also been a number of
targets in the United States between the gun shooters and
collectors popular, so popular AR-15 itself is the target
Gun Shooting welcome high-precision rifles, into SPR, the
only further improve the accuracy, shape and cool.
