QOTD: "In another assessment of shooting while under physical stress, Soldiers wore body armor and sprinted 200 yards with their weapons and a basic load of ammunition, then rapidly engaged close-range targets from the standing position. Again, they performed this task with both weapons. Many Soldiers saw an improvement in their overall time with the lighter weapon.

"Today we ran with the LSAT and with the SAW," said Cpl. Nickolaus Hammack, one of the military police Soldiers participating in the assessment. "Both were pretty trying but the SAW hands down is way heavier.

"Especially going up a hill, you feel the weight on you," he added. "LSAT is a lot lighter weapon. It really is a joy to have." ... "I could see a whole squad carrying it (the LMG)," he said. "You would own the battlefield." --Army News Service
