If just one Marine make's it back home to his family alive and not crippled due to this weapon system and it's highly trained Marine sniper's it's worth more than $12,000.
This weapon isn't going to be issued to every Marine in the Corps.

I guess not many on this forum have served or have family serving in the military during this War on Terror that our military has been fighting for over 17 years.

So sleep well tonight all you upset tax payers,
brave young Patriots wiling to fight & kill the things you fear are standing guard keeping our Country free and safe.
