    10:19 "We were literally shooting sub-minute up to 1,500 meters." What?! That accuracy is INSANE!!
    Yes, I know that MOA is at 100 yards so that's up to 15 inches, but even so, that's all the more impressive given the extra 1,400 meters that it's traveling!

    I actually shot one of the SEAL’s 300 win mag sniper rifle during an exercise with them. It was years ago but I believe it was that same rifle but it also had this big ass suppressor on it. What struck me the most was how little recoil it had and how easy it was to shoot. We were only shooting at a piece of steel at 2-300 but it was completely effortless to shoot. I’m assuming it was due to the heft of it combined with a suppressor.

      I concur on all points, but for me, I like the large window of the eotech. Just allows for quicker acquisition in an urban environment/in the house. Once the Leupold LCO came out, I switched to it. It’s a tank and my favorite RDS. Still run it to this day.

      Yet he chose some of the best guns around. The AR pattern rifles were number 4 and 1 Good choices. The Glock 17/19 are the most solid choice for combat pistols. The sniper rifle is also a solid choice. The M240B is perhaps the best 7.62mm MG in the world.
