It's already in the supply chain, and the Army already has people who are training-qualified on it. Or am I thinking too logically...?

hey Paul,

it doesn't make sense to me either. Not only are the Rangers and SF using the M-3 but also the SEALs.

I recall posting something about this back on the old board. I was doing a hypothetical TOE for t2k light infantry divisions and wanted to give them more punch and was trying to figure out if they would go with the M-3 or the SMAW. I can't remember what the conclusion was though. Hence, part of the reason I brought up this most recent thread, but I'd also like to know anyways.
