What are the weapons organic to the Marine rifle squad?

The weapons organic to the Marine rifle squad include the M16A2 rifle, M203 grenade launcher, and M-7 bayonet. Each of these weapons plays a specific role in enhancing the squad's combat capabilities.

The M16A2 rifle serves as the primary weapon for most Marines within the squad, known for its accuracy and range, making it effective for both close-quarters and longer-range engagements. The M203 grenade launcher, which is attached to the M16A2 rifle, provides the squad with indirect fire capability, allowing them to engage targets that are not directly visible or that require area suppression with explosive grenades. The M-7 bayonet adds versatility to the squad’s armament by providing a close-combat tool that can be used for hand-to-hand fighting or utility tasks.

These weapons are standard issue for Marine rifle squads, ensuring that Marines are equipped with reliable and effective tools for their mission objectives in various combat scenarios. The other choices do not accurately reflect the standard armament for a Marine rifle squad, consisting instead of weapons that are either not standard issue, not used by the Marine Corps, or associated with different roles or units.
