Designated marksman rifle * Assault rifle

The SEAL Recon Rifle (also known as the "Sniper M4"[2] and "Recce"[3]) is a heavily modified M16-series rifle intended to provide US Navy SEAL snipers with a versatile, accurate, lightweight, and relatively compact weapon chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO.[4]

History [ edit ]

The concept of a 5.56 NATO-based accurized rifle was first seen in 1993 when American troops were deployed in Somalia.[2]

Development [ edit ]

Developed in-house by SEAL team armorers,[5] the rifle's existence was centered less around a rigid specification and more around the concept of an accurized rifle that could share the duties and ammunition of fielded M4 carbines, whilst also being able to engage targets beyond the carbines' range.[6] When further development was handed over to Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division,[2] the US Army incorporated their own concepts and funding into the joint program, resulting in the Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle which many SEALs were disappointed with.[7]

Former SEAL Sniper Kyle Defoor recounts:[1]

It went to 18" quite frankly because the big Army got involved. Most of us that have a lot of time on one (myself included) think that 16" is better for a number of reasons: 2" does make a difference, especially with a [suppressor]. Weight (it's not pounds at this stage it's ounces) and remember that balance has a factor here too. I've shot both together on the same range at the same time. I don't really care what charts and scientists say, me and [my fellow SEALs] can hit just as good with 16" as 18". [...] The MK12 is ok as it comes, but, me and majority of the guys that were around me immediately [replaced] the fixed stock. Some would go with a Geissele trigger too, and some would put a tube rail back on. All of these little touches were done in house at the shooters home team.

Specifications [ edit ]

Initially, SEAL Recon Rifles were built in-house with the only requirements being a 16" barrel (406mm), and the ability to shoot any 5.56×45mm cartridge in inventory, including the first iterations of the 77-grain (5g) Mk262 Mod0 cartridge. [7] Otherwise, the rifle was individualized to the tastes of the user by the armorer or the SEAL themselves. The stainless steel barrels were sourced from Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels, had a 1:8 (203mm) twist[8] a unique heavy profile, beginning at 0.980 inches (25mm) in diameter for the first 2.60 inches (66mm) of length, then narrowing down to 0.850 inches (22mm) in diameter, 0.750 inches (19mm) in diameter underneath the front sight block, and 0.725 inches (18mm) in diameter to the muzzle. These barrels were mated to flat-top upper receivers featuring a M1913 rail, to which optics and back-up iron sights could be attached. Operators commonly chose to install back-up iron sights manufactured by Knight's Armament Company, ARMS Inc, and Troy Industries with the rifles.[6] Recon rifles were reportedly fitted with free-float handguards, the most popular being the KAC M4 Match RAS and a longer-length LaRue free-float handguard, either of which provide plentiful rail space to mount accessories. KAC free-floated rails (P/N 20214) were part the Mk12 Mod 1 package and were in common use by the Global War on Terror. [8] Barrels were sometimes fitted with Ops Inc 12th model suppressors and their accompanying muzzle brakes.[citation needed]

Is Boiled water the same as distilled water?

No, they aren't the same. Boiled water is simply water that has had the temperature increased until it reaches its boiling point. This kills a host of bacteria that can make a person sick. Distilled water is water that has been stripped of all impurities, including minerals and microorganisms.

Put the baking rack on the bottom of the stainless-steel pot.

Fill the pot half way with tap water.

Place the glass bowl in the pot, so that it floats on the surface of the water. The baking rack should ensure that the bottom of the glass bowl doesn't touch the pot. Turn the pot cover upside down and place it on top of the pot.

Fill the inverted pot cover with ice.

Bring the water to a boil and let it boil for about 45 minutes, replacing the ice as necessary. As the water boils it becomes steam. The steam will hit the cold lid of the pot and be cooled down to become water again. Some of the water will drip into the glass bowl. That's the distilled water. Turn off the gas. Remove the lid from the pot. Using gloves, remove the glass bowl carefully -- it will be very hot.
