Who has better snipers the USMC or Royal Marine Commandos?

Answer 1

Both are highly trained in their craft. If any difference exists it may rest in the weapon itself instead of actual skill or training, The standard Marine Sniper Rifle of 2011 is the M-40A3 which has replaced the M-40A1. Each is hand crafted and built by a Marine and the production rate equals one every day, In addition the standard round is the M118LR in 7.62mm and each round is hand loaded by a Marine Weapons repairman at Quantico, Virginia. This attention to detail insures tighter groups, consistent loads and improved rounds on target beyond 1,000 yards. The new rifle has an adjustable cheek piece and recoil pad for shooting comfort along with a swivel bipod, six quick-detach swivel mounts and a mount rail to alternate between the 10 power scope and the ANPVS-10 night scope. These additions put an extra two pounds of weight onto each Sniper, which leads some to be less than pleased.

The Army's M-24 Sniper Weapon System is a perfectly acceptable weapon and it is essentially a Remington 700 Rifle and which has long been the prime SWAT Sniper Rifle.

Answer 2

Army. Regardless of what the ratio is in the various branches, the Army would have the highest total number, simply due to the sheer size of the land branch. Answer: Actually, all branches of US Military service have snipers. And, with the turn of the century, the US Coast Guard has the greatest number, most active, and statistically most accurate of all services.

Answer 3

Army Snipers have a better reputation in recent years as they have had much more experience fighting in the urban terrain of Iraq and mountain terrain of Afghanistan.

Answer 4

That would depend on the individual. Both are exceptionally well trained and professional and each can provide "One Shot, One Kill" accuracy out to 1,000 yards.

Answer 5

USMC does.
