Trial by Fire: M1A SOCOM II in "The Sledgehammer" (Prelim Run)

The 7.62x51mm is a M1A SOCOM II is a recreational high for me: it's fun to run and shoot in a course of fire like the TNP "Sledgehammer." Here I do a prelim run with it, using an EOTECH XPS2-2 as the optic and a KZ 2-point sling. I had my doubts how the I'd do without magnification but the SOCOM turns in an impressive run and it would get only better with practice (and if fresh...the run came at the end of a long cold day out in the desert!). The gun is still too heavy for my all-around tactical carbine but it is very reliable, accurate, and ultimately cool. ////////////////////////// Music: Derek Audette

@jimmyhoffa9 Yeah, but from a military standpoint no. SCAR-L/H are more or less cancelled. HK417 have more common with “in service" HK416 and M27 IAR. So it would be a more logic choice. Still like the M1A SOCOM:)

[jimmyhoffa9]

@221smay he already did

[jimmyhoffa9]

@SharQus so would a scar H, remington 700 and many other weapons. yeah the m1a is a old design and while it might be good, it is heavy

"You nailed that hill. That was a good shot."

[SharQus]

HK417 would do the job in the weight compartment

@D41ryQueen No it is not, that is a moronic statement. it is a game, for fun, real life battle is not fun, or enjoyable nor do people pay money to do it, nor do they want it to happen.
