Wiki and this site imply the M40 is still in service, but is it really? I've never heard of it being used anytime recently and i can't see how it could somehow stick around this long without showing up in Iraq or Afganistan.--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 18:29, 5 January 2018 (EST)

:While it's not been in frontline service since the 70s (forgot to change that field), as far as I can tell there's still enough of them in inventory that they affected the designation of the M40 sniper rifle. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 01:30, 6 January 2018 (EST)

There's always a little confusion because of the question of ''who'' it's in service with: these are one of the go-to weapons for arming technicals because they're big, powerful and any idiot can make ammo for them.
