Sgt. Randy Robles, Quantico Scout Sniper School instructor and Marine Corps Systems Command liaison, demonstrates the MK13 Mod 7 Sniper Rifle during training March 29, 2018, aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The system, which reached full operational capability in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, shoots a more accurate bullet at greater distances than the legacy sniper rifle. Marines will primarily use the MK13 during deployments, while the M40A6 legacy rifle will be used for sniper training. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Kristen Murphy) - Sgt.
