Is the discussion on Blackhawk Down necessary? It's interesting but really has very little to do with the subject of the article. Perhaps it should be moved to the article on Blackhawk Down instead?
In the book Blackhawk Down, Randy Shughart was described as carrying an M14. There was a brief discussion of balistics as well. Anyhow, here's the author sort of confirming this, if you need confirmation: http://inquirer.philly.com/packages/somalia/ask/ask19.asp I've removed the reference, perhaps you should put it under the M14 entry. It feels very out of place in my opinion. You bounced from "weapon description" to "hollywood" to "dead guy", just like that.
About the M-25 variant, see www.snipercentral.com/m25.htm. The M-25 has a McMillan M1A stock (and not M2A as written in the page), and a BPT (Brookfield Precision Tool) Advanced Scope Mounting System ; scope used are Bausch & Lomb 62-1040 10x40 Tactical, or various Leupolds MK4 / VariX-III ; sometimes there is also OPS silencers.
This weapon was used in 1991 Gulf War by S.O.F. (and as a consequence I suppose that it was build before 1991, perhaps in the end of 1990). I read some suggests about the fact that the Randy Shugart's rifle could be a M-25 too (unconfirmed). Rob1bureau
The page precise 2 differents years when the designation XM21 became M21 : 1971 (in the text) and 1975 (below photo) ; what is true ? (1975 according globalsecurity.org) Rob1bureau 17:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Springfield M21;
Can anyone tell me how this gun relates to the Springfield M21? Is it the same gun, or only very similar? Is "Springfield M21" a common misnomer for this M21 or is it something distinct? - Keith D. Tyler ¶ ( AMA) 18:23, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Should this article discuss the differences between the Springfield Armory/Rock Island M21 and the Springfield Inc. M21? Thatcher131 19:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Another problem is that US military are using M14 with scope in Afghanistan and Iraq, but these are NOT "true" M-21 ; they are od M-14 or Springfield Armory M21 with new scopes. Rob1bureau
For Signaleer and others : please don't rely on what is written on the web pages to say if it is an M21 or not. The contested photo depicts evidently not a standard M-21 of the US Army, because the M21 has not a Leupold LR/T scope but Redfield ART or Leatherwood ART II, it has not plastic stock with camo, no bipod. Mistakes are frequently seen about Army's scoped M14 in Afghanistan and Iraq in various Internet sites, but until here I have never seen one true M21 in these conflicts, only upgraded M14s.

The bulk of this article is copied and pasted from referenced sources and simply written as a quote. While it seems as though this material is public domain as it's the work of the U.S. military, it needs to be re-written in Wikipedia's voice. Also: is the rifle still in use? WP Ludicer ( talk) 16:51, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello why is there nevery where the information if it is a semi-automatic sniper rifle such as the Barret M82A1 or the Dragunow? ( 89.166.170.201 ( talk) 19:22, 3 June 2024 (UTC))
