Boom Baby!

VIEW THE LATEST SNIPER RIFLE AVAILABLE TO OUR MILITARY: THE OMEN

Meet the new Omen. This semi-automatic weapons platform can hit a target out to 1,400 meters. The military-only version shoots 3 shot groups in an area the size of a dime, civilian-versions under a quarter at 100 yards. Stretching nearly four feet in length, it holds 14 rounds.

This description might sound like the latest big bore .50-cal on the market, but this is the new NEMO Omen .300 Winchester Magnum semi-automatic sniper platform. This revolutionary rifle weighs less than 11 pounds unloaded. Comparatively, the average AR-15/M-4, chambered for 5.56 NATO, weighs in at under 7 pounds while a comparable AR-10, chambered for the 7.62 NATO cartridge, weighs in at just under 10 pounds.

Not particularly mine either, fats.
Can you imaging how hot that barrel would be after 14 shots in a few minutes...and then how inaccurate it would be on the last several shots?

IMHO, battlefield drones are the better solution.
Something along the lines of a GLD and a drone. :)
