[edit] Need citation

For passage:

'...led to the USMC opting to retire the M14DMR from service in favor of the 7.62 mm Mk 11 (SR-25) and 5.56 mm Special Purpose Rifle (United States Navy Mark 12 Mod 0 Special Purpose Rifle) rifles from Crane. However, at this time, new DMRs are still being issued and units are deploying regularly with the weapons system'

[edit] Major cleanup

I have added the WP:MILHIST {{Infobox Weapon}} template to the article and made a general cleanup for style, formatting, spelling and links. I have also added the formal name of the DMR (Rifle, 7.62-MM, M14, DMR) to the lead. —Squalla 00:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
