Talk:M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System

message: The page doesn't say which model of scope is used, just that it's a Leupold 3.5-10X variable-power day optic. But a search of Leupold's website turns up the Mark 4 3.5-10x40mm LR/T M2 Illuminated Reticle scope that looks identical to the one shown on the rifle in the image inside the info box.

message: In the service record section of the chart, the "US Invasion of Afghanistan" is inappropriate.  It should be changed to a less biased name.

::Why? The US invaded Afghanistan and ousted its government, the Taliban regime. That's a statement of fact. There's no bias in.
     It makes the US look bad for no reason. The "invasion" was comparable to D-day. The US invaded to give non-taliban afghans freedom from an oppressive government.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.123.240.12 (talk) 17:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: It's still the XM110, the article on Military.com, published on August 21 2007 refers to it as the XM110. Parsecboy 14:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

text: FWIW: A June 2007 presentation by the US Army's Project Manager - Soldier Weapons indicated that the XM110 had yet to achieve the Milestone C decision for Low Rate Inital Production (LRIP).  I wouldn't expect the X to be dropped from the designation until it is approved for Full Materiel Release.  The fielding by the 10th Mountain Division was through an Urgent Materiel Release (UMR).  A similar process was used to get the XM107 fielded prior to its approval for Full Materiel Release. D.E. Watters 19:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm more inclined to believe PEO-Soldier than Gary Paul Johnston.  GPJ's article, while posted online in August, was published in the June 2007 issue of Soldier of Fortune.  Most newsstand magazines are released a month or more ahead of their issue date, and articles are often submitted more than a month ahead of time of publication.  So the SOF article was easily written long before the PM-Soldier Weapon's briefing given in June.  D.E. Watters 19:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It's an AR-10.  Shouldn't be that hard to find one.  I'd get on that uses M1a/M14 mags instead of the Knight's SR25173.86.68.203 (talk) 05:46, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the M110 is derived from the SR-25, not the AR-10. Note the lack of fencing around the magazine release (a characteristic of the SR-25 whereas the AR-10 has fencing) and the shape of the upper receiver (the AR-10 upper receiver is shaped more similarly to the standard M16/M4 upper). The M110 is also a KAC product, whereas KAC doesn't produce the AR-10. Spartan198 (talk) 07:37, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Using the full designation seems unnecessary. Our guidelines dictate that the abbreviated form should be used instead, therefore M110 SASS. Koalorka (talk) 14:52, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Would a separate article for the upcoming M110A1 CSASS be appropriate, considering that it will be an entirely new rifle based on the HK417/G28 rather than an upgrade to the existing design? Currently there is a subsection on the HK417 page also describing the CSASS but perhaps it would be a good idea to create a dedicated article given that it seems to be the precedent for most other US military versions of existing firearms. (M9, M240, M249, M24, M27, etc)
