Yes, I forgot to mention that. Yes, snipers often don't wear kevlar because the head weight might interfer with their sniping options.

Force Recon are a different bunch and often get all the high-tech gadgets that the conventional Marines don't. There's a website that talks about this and does show the MP5 and M4 in use.

But in general, most conventional Marines look just like their Army counterparts.
