Remember this? Was when trump took that surprise stroll to the church.

A pair of U.S. Secret Service counter snipers who walked with the big group of administration officials over to

St. John's Church for Trump's photo-op.

"The USSS sniper team includes another shooter/spotter equipped with an SR-25 pattern semi-automatic rifle. This weapon, chambered in .308 Winchester and equipped with a 5.5x50 ACOG illuminated scope, doesn't offer the extreme reach or precision of the AX chassis rifle, but it does provide a larger volume of fire and is more suited for medium-range engagements. As such, the individual with the longer-ranged weapon can work more in the counter-sniper and anti-material role, while the other one can be equipped to cover shorter-ranged threats against multiple opponents. Either can act as the spotter for the other, as well."
