Army Plans to Field H&K G28 as New Squad Marksman Rifle

My how the times and weapons have changed.
“The Army selected the G28 as its new Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System in 2016 to replace its M110 Semi-automatic Sniper System -- a move that will provide snipers with a shorter rifle that doesn't stick out to the enemy as a sniper weapon.
Now the Army plans to start fielding the G28 in 2018 to infantry squads as the service's standard SDMR, Lt. Gen. John Murray, deputy chief of staff for Army G8, told Military.com.”
