marine. >> reporter: a shorter barrel may not mean much out here on the firing range. but could mean everything in urban combat. >> if you are coming around a corner into the hallway. inches can mean a big difference when it's showing that you are coming or not. >> reporter: all the rifles are becoming smaller and lighter. colonel roger turner the man in charge of developing new weapons for the marines says the addition of a telescopic sight is the biggest change. most people when they think telescopic sight they think of a sniper rifle. >> right. >> reporter: every rifle has it. >> every rifle, yes. >> so what would be considered a, a -- sniper-like effect can be achieved by this, by every single marine. >> reporter: the real snipers are creeping through the woods carrying a very different kind of weapon designed to pick off the enemy at long-ng

sergeant jacob ruiz is wearing. his rifle is custom tailored. >> don't imagine there is anybody that has a closer relationship with his weapon than a sniper. >> snipers fire far more round with a lot more responsibility and understanding of what that round is doing than any other form of infantry i would say. as with the infantry rifles, marines are switching to a smaller lighter sniper rifle. >> this one is on the way out. >> essentially. >> you going to miss it? >> yeah, yeah, all i have known since i came to this. >> the sergeant can console himself with the fact that uh new rifle is lighter. >> pound equal pain. so, the less ounces you got, the less pane you are going to have. >> reporter: each rifle in a marine fire team has a different purpose. the snipers are usually first to fire, trying to pick off high-value targets liken me machine guns. giving the rest of the fire team a chance to move across open ground. first to come up is machine gunner ryan moore to lay done a base of fire.
