Default Re: Suhiir's Revised USMC OOB #13

That experience/morale base also varies from time-to-time.
Check the US Army and USMC during the 1970's you'll see it's lower then it is in say the 1990's.

As to the M-16, it always amused me that the official US Army manuals declared the maximum effective range of the M-16A1 was 460m yet every Marine was required to quality at that range. From what I saw of US Army ranges they never fired more then 300m and the requirements to qualify were lower. But I suppose that makes sense since Army doctrine was volume of fire vice the Marine one of quality.
