Corpsmen are a special breed. Kind of like the cat that prefers the company of dogs.
And Corpsmen will be carrying the M18s.

That would be my guess: photo shoot with a model who may have never picked up a pistol before in his entire life.That's probably an underwear model.

In addition to risking a slide in the face, the low hand on the grip is a dead giveaway. I see a lot of actors do that but never in a Michael Mann movie.
If we could only get them to wait until the shooting stops.Corpsmen are a special breed. Kind of like the cat that prefers the company of dogs.

I knew a marine who was involved in the hill 861 activity and he told me the stories about the failures of the newly issued M16s. Regrettably he is no longer with us.

Man, you'd think they could have found a less cringe worthy picture for that article.
Depends who you ask. I've trained under plenty of combat vets who think it works just fine. Have yet to meet one that doesn't think so actually.
And it's a Navy Corpsman and not a Marine. (Total respect for Corpsman - we had a few in Battalion)
Our Corpsman carried M16's and used them. Probably why they were not welcome is navy clubs.
