POTD: The Finnish Rk62 In The Hands Of U.S. Marines
We have recently seen a series of Photo Of The Day where U.S. Marines shoot various foreign firearms, in equally foreign places, and today is no different. Above you see U.S Marine Corps Sgt. Caleb Sumerel, a Spring Hill, Tennessee native and a section leader with Mobile Reconnaissance Company, 2d Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2d Marine Division as he sets into a defense while conducting bilateral training with Finnish coastal brigade forces during joint exercise Keksi 24 in Upinniemi, Finland, May 16, 2024. At least he got to go there in the summertime!
Another Finnish Rk62 in the hands of a U.S. Marine. The rifle has a laser and a training muzzle device fitted.
The Rk62 is pretty far away from the NGSW/Next Generation Squad Weapon system.
