    i rest my case. you are going backward in this discussion. you can read my previous posts, why i think SS-2 V4 is not optimal for DMR role why i suggest SS-3 to fill that role instead also why SS-2 V4 is still valuable for TNI but not as DMR, rather an Infantry Automatic Rifle (like USMC's IAR M27)

    the USMC uses M4, that is a carbine with shorter barrel..meanwhile TNI uses full size rifle currently, USMC using Mk318 standard, that is 3 generation later than our bullet it is made based on middle-east warfare experience..their bullet is optimized not for speed, but for increased stopping...

    ^^ i stand by my argument there is a reason why anywhere in the world, no one uses 5.56mm rifle as Designated Marksmen Rifle even though it will simplify logistical problems tremendously it simply don't work we always bragged about how well SS-2V4 perform in shooting competition like AASAM/AARM...

    Nope, V4 has the same barrel length as V1, both are 460mm..so the effective range is identical The only differences between the two is heavier barrel in V4, which means better grouping potential and better sustainment to prolong fire Barrel length SS2-V1 460 mm SS2-V2 403 mm SS2-V4 460 mm...

    i think you got that wrong the usage of heavy barrel in V4 doesn't give an extra range..it means to give a tighter grouping and better sustainment to high rate of fire the same thing applied to the usage match grade ammo. It doesn't give an extra range either, it just ensure a uniform flight...

    i think SS-2 V4 still have place in today's warfare but not as DMR rifle US marine adopting IAR M27 (HK 416 in 5.56 +heavier and longer barrel) in its organization since 2010 but of course it is not meant to fill as DMR role, but rather to be a lighter version of SAW (squad automatic weapon ~...

    no, the problem is not the length of the rifle pindad has been offering DMR concept for several years now but TNI doesn't seem to interested in SS-2 V4 simply because it is using 5.56mm caliber even though it is advertised as "the rifle that win AASAM" over and over again.. in real world, 5.56...

    do you mean tweaking the existing rifle? Simple answer: NO a lot of compromise have to be made you want longer range? -lengthen the barrel, but it will make the rifle unwieldy -increase the propellant pressure, and you make the barrel wear faster -with current caliber, the bullet will drop...
