    Looking for new customers after the USMC announced they’re planning to adopt the “Goose”

    There have been articles stating the USMC is phasing out the SMAW however no “requirements” paperwork has been generated or passed down to the PM. As you all know programs take a very long time before fielding. The Goose is probably 5-6 years before fielding. The MOD2’s testing exceeded the performance specs. set forth by the USMC. A huge improvement is the addition of the MBS (Modular Ballistic Sight) and the elimination of the 9mm spotting scope. Resulting in a weight reduction. This weapon is a huge improvement over the MOD0.

    What happened to Raytheon’s “serpent”?

    So why did the USMC have a different AT than other branches? Couldn’t the Carl G fill this role or the new M4 version?
