The Marine Corps originally adopted the M27 to replace the M249 SAW. They wanted an automatic rifle to replace the hefty and aging complement of SAWs. The idea was suppression by precision rather than volume of fire.
That was the idea. Then, the Marine Corps pulled a sneaky move and essentially just made the M27 the main combat rifle of their fighting forces. Combat arms guys ditched the M16 and M4s for the M27. What’s the big deal? Well, the M27 is an HK 416 with a 16.5-inch barrel.
