Heckler & Koch may be making and delivering thousands of M27 infantry automatic rifles to the\u00a0Marine Corps, but that’s not going to stop the company from taking a few jabs at jarheads.<\/p>\n

“A fresh batch of M27 rifles leaving Georgia headed to the Devil Dogs,” the post read, alongside photographs of rows of the guns ready for shipping. “If any of you crayon eaters are reading this, please treat them nice, even though we built them to be Marine proof.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Come on, I haven’t chewed on a crayon in … weeks.<\/p>\n

“FYI, this was not a challenge to try to break them, we know reading comprehension is [not] a strong suit,” she wrote later.<\/p>\n

Others, picking up on the cherished stereotype of Marines as tough but none-too-smart crayon-eaters, added their own takes.<\/p>\n

“As a Marine veteran, I can’t read what that said, but looked at the picture,” one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

H&K’s social media wisecracker had a comeback ready.<\/p>\n

“We wrote out a training manual that used no words over 6 letters, we were told we didn’t use enough pictures,” she wrote. “By the time we submitted a manual that was approved, it was literally nothing but pictures …”<\/p>\n

As the post picked up steam hours after publication, Social Media Girl voiced tongue-in-cheek worries that she would be “pulled into a meeting” for ragging on Marines.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rumor in some of the Jarhead groups is “she is hot” so I doubt there is anything a “Hot Chick” who makes automatic weapons is going to say that will outrage Marines.<\/p>\n
