[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1432448, member: 8873"] There is a reason most of our equipment cost so much. The contracts will be for the weapon (and probably all gear to employ), maintenance on that weapon (for either a certain time or till a certain amount is met), and then training/fielding of the weapon. And I'm sure there is some padding of the pockets. Do we usually get our money's worth? Not in my eyes. An example of this would be when we got our M110s. The guys from Knights Armament that came down to train us and do the fielding didn't know squat. All they did was made a PowerPoint of the user manual and read it, couldn't answer many questions. Simple things, I remember a PFC asking if it would fire .308 Winchester ammo.... The rep that did the M2010 was a little better, except he tried to feed us some crap when asked about why we are getting ejector swipes on all our fired brass. Someone mentioned the Accuracy International, it didn't meet the requirements the Army projected. Simple as that. I know someone involved in the testing and asked the same question: How the heck does Remington, Leupold, Knights Armament, and Barrett keep getting these contracts when there is better equipment out there?
