Do you believe the military should revert to using bolt-action rifles for snipers?
Behind the questionAI-generated summary
The Department of War is supplying snipers with the Barrett MRAD rifle, designated as the Mk 22 Precision Sniper Rifle, after having deemed bolt-action technology obsolete over 85 years ago. The Army has contracted Barrett for 2,800 rifles at a cost of $49.9 million, with the Marine Corps acquiring an additional 250. While some experts posit that bolt-action rifles offer reliability and ease of use, the military has transitioned to semi-automatic systems for regular infantry. The Mk 22 will serve in multiple calibers: 7.62x51mm NATO, .300 Norma Magnum, and .338 Norma Magnum.
