Title: Current event week 7 Title of article:Snipers get new and improved weapons

Elite special forces task groups that take the fight to enemy with intelligence and amazing skills are known as snipers and they are armed to the teeth.  But could their weapons be even more precise and even more deadly. Well military snipers will now see new M24 Reconfigured Sniper Weapon Systems.
According to the article, The result in the near-term fielding of 250 XM2010 weapon systems, which will be chambered for .300 Winchester Magnum cartridges. The new chambering significantly extends the weapon's maximum effective range. It's expected the Army will field the upgraded weapons to deployed Army snipers by the end of December.  I think the military force for the U.S. doesnt care what gun they are using as long as it can get the job done quick and smooth.  We need to focus on other ideas than new sniper weapons mechcanisms.  I think the army already has enough weapons to choose from anyway.

  1. Will they be able to recycle parts from older weapons to make these, and what is the cost per rifle. I understand that they may need an upgrade as far as weapons are concerned, but the overall cost has be a bit weary.
