After years of anticipation, the Marine Corps has finally started fielding suppressors to grunts in close combat formations, Task & Purpose has learned.
The service “began the process of fielding thousands of suppressors to infantry, reconnaissance and special operation units†in December for use on the Corps’ arsenal of M27 Infantry Automatic Rifles, M4 carbines, and M4A1 Close Quarter Battle Weapons, Marine Corps Systems Command spokesman Kelly Flynn confirmed in an email to Task & Purpose.
News of the fielding comes after MARCORSYSCOM back in July announced its intent to award a single-source contract to Knight’s Armament Company for 5.56 mm small arms suppressors.
