Well the Marines don't use the M21 SWS, rather the USMC DMR, basically a enhanced M14. Its got new scope, rails, silencer ready barrel, a pistol grip, Bipod. It wouldn't be required to add that as its being used as a low cost placeholder until they come up with a advanced DMR. The Marines plan to replace the USMC DMR with the M39 EMR, basically a less expensive Mk 14 DMR. Lots of things are simplified, looks like the barrel is the one out of the USMC DMR, it gots railz, a different stock, its longer, and its not made of Titanium alloy (as the Mk 14 is). The other DMR that the USMC use is the SAM-R, a M16A4 with heavier rounds, longer, floating barrel, optics, a M16A1 lower (Limited Automatic capability), backup sights, bipod, etc. Both I'd like to see in PR.
