What’s going on? We’re looking at Lance Cpl. Mathew Graham, a designated marksman, assigned to Echo Company, Battalion Landing Team 2/8, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) as he fires his M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle during a live-fire training. You can clearly see “Graham” on the stock of the rifle, as well as M27 on the lower.
The Bataan Amphibious Ready Group with embarked 26th MEU are conducting non-live fire and live-fire routine sustainment training in the United Arab Emirates to enhance critical mission sets for the U.S. Navy-Marine Corps team operating within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

Vertical grip on an under-barrel M203? Some things are a crime against nature.
The M27 has been a source of butthurt of the stolen valor crowd since 2008.
