I have been personally involved in tests similar to this and rigged is exactly what they are. My experience didn't involve guns though, it was a robotics platform. The winner of the "test" broke during the first exercise. One of the requirements was for the platform to be man transportable. The winner tipped the scales at...280 lbs. I could go on for several more paragraphs but it isn't worth getting mad about again so I will leave it at this.
Civilians in an HQ position should have ZERO input on what guys in the field use. Dirty fuqs
