Photo by James Finney/U.S. ArmySept. 23 (UPI) -- The Army successfully tested the MK-22 Precision Sniper Rifle during exercises at Fort Bragg, N.C., to clear it for fielding, the branch announced. To make sure the rifle was not degraded by shock after a jump, the test team applied a "mobile weapons boresight collimator" to it. According to the Army, the MK22 is part of the Army's PSR program, allowing the Army an extreme range weapons system that is lighter than current sniper rifles and including features that mask the sniper.
