how many rounds does the SOC model hold? under the picture of the Marine shooting, theres a short commentary. how many Marines are carrying an MP-5 as thier primary weapon? this is a MARSOC weapon. or Marine boarding party weapons.

Who wrote this? Does anyone NOT see that operator "holding the flashlight"????? its not mounted!!! BTW- Those are standard slides n from what i can see, receivers as well......... standard barrels (the guy in background looks like mounted light.....ahhh gee whiz, Your gonna have to go to this site and see what we (oops, not we , some other fella's got "cookin".)
Anyways, the MeuSoc pistol, to the best of my knowledge is a Kimber. Customized by the SOCOM Armory, or perhaps the wonderful<in all sincerity the fella's at Picatinny.... Picatinny Smitty's ROCK THE HOUSE!!!! Come check out the "beginning of the REAL .45 mounting system, made of the same 7075 series aluminum (extruded*cnc'd) that we make the FA 18 Hornet out of ......... best, a nice fella Come see the Wor4 TacRail for Beretta and 1911's
The MEU(SOC) is made in Quantico, VA by the Marine Corps. They are not Kimber pistols. The frames of many of them were original 1940s era 1911s. They just have the functioning parts replaced as necessary.
Now, the armory was busy also building sniper rifles, designated marksman rifles, and other high quality weapons when the Marine Corps joined SOCOM and they could not produce enough MEU(SOC) pistols so they ordered custom pistols from Kimber. That is the ICQB pistol.
i bet thier busy as hell with 40,000 M-14's being pulled from storage. the M-14 is the BEST battle rifle ever made by the US. anyone seen the EBR version yet? 20 rnds of KO power.
I think Army special forces and maybe even airborne get them. Personally, Ive fired an M14 and all sorts of M16s before. I much prefer the M16. The M14 has very old ergonomics and the only reason it has any value over the M16 is its caliber, which really isnt THAT much of an improvement because I can get so many more rounds out accurately with a 5.56mm. Now, with that high speed EBR kit its probably pretty cool, but otherwise the M14 is just too unwieldly.
