True. I looked at it and technically hers could; though the variant that she actually carries is the longest.

But I wasn't actually sure what category you stuffed her into.

I'm going close-quarters recon actually.
How to be legitimately recognised in NS? Be a proper Roleplayer.
In a community where knowledge should be used to uplift the teachable and be used as an interest instead of a necessity, the arrogant abuse of knowledge is interesting to watch.

Rifleman. Though the C7/8 can get a 5.7 inch barrel if needed.

It's good practice to issue out disposable AT weapons (M72, AT4, MBT LAW, Panzerfaust 3, RPG-26, MATADOR, etc) to riflemen on an as needed basis. Probably one per fireteam in most cases, although more could be used in the event that lots of heavy armour is likely to be encountered. That's basically what all real armies do. A dedicated anti-tank specialist would carry something heavier like a SMAW, Garl Gustav, or RPG-7. We could probably pick a specific disposable launcher we could hand out when it's needed.

Also I think having dedicated CQB specialists is kind of silly because any weapon except for sniper rifles and large machine guns can be used in close quarters, and I'd assume as elite special forces we all have pretty extensive CQB training to the point that we could all function as CQB specialists if need be.

It isn't the role I'm thinking of, moreso Pia's primary specialties. Rifle ammo tends to overpenetrate, and I'm fairly sure it's bad press to have your hostage rescue force kill hostages.

Name:Mariana Martinez
Age:29
Gender:Female
Nationality:American
Ethnicity:Hispanic
Appearance:5'10,Agile build,Tan skin,Long brown hair,Hazel eyes
Preferred Weapons (PICK TWO: Primary and sidearm.):SCAR-H,Remington R8
Previous military and/or law enforcement experience:Utah County Bomb Squad
Specialization: EOD, Pyrotechnics
Education: Bachelors degree in chemistry
Biography (more than 2 paragraphs, please):

Mariana was born in Salt Lake City,Utah, in the suburbs. She was born into a family with two twins, both male,also her mom and dad. She is a very likable and charming person, and therefor had good relationships with everyone she met. Mariana went to local schools throughout her life, and kept a steady streak of mostly Bs and Cs through middle school. From high school through college, Mariana upped her educational game and brought up her grades to almost all As in all of her classes. She was known as a renowned soccer player by all her friends and teammates in high school, and was very athletic. Mariana always aspired to be on the police force.

When Mariana turned 18, she moved away from her family to Utah county, where she attended Utah Valley University for four years. After she graduated with a bachelors degree, she joined the Utah County Sheriff's department, where she quickly climbed up to a position as a widely respected and known member of the Utah County bomb squad in around five years. After two years on the squad, she received a letter about a special job. A spot on the peacekeeper squad.

RP sample
Mariana chased the perp through the county streets in the department car, even though half the windshield was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, with an axe wedged half way through it. This perp is question had just committed second degree murder. The victim-his own wife. At around 2:30 am, neighbors of the suspect called the department to report continuous yelling and screaming coming from next door. Mariana was sent on the case, but when she pulled up to the house she didn't expect the organ-covered suspect to open the front door and throw a blood-covered tomahawk at her car window, then bolt. As she began to pull up behind him, she spoke into the car's microphone which connected to a loud external speaker. "Sir, please stop now. This is your first and only warning. " She wiped some sweat off her forehead, momentarily holding the vehicle with one hand. The perp suddenly pulled out a handgun of some sort mid sprint, and started to fire back at her. Mariana ducked to avoid the shots, but they seemed to be aimed a little to low to hit the windshield as he front left tire popped. She swerved uncontrollably, yelling out a curse as she rammed the man straight from behind as a result. She braked as soon as the man made contact with the hood. He hit the windshield's damaged section, and would have gone straight into Mariana if it weren't for the airbags.

Only real issue I see is that there are two SCARs. The SCAR-L and SCAR-L, the difference being size and caliber

SCAR-L (5.56x45 NATO) or SCAR-H (7.62x51 NATO)?

Also there's a lot of .357 Magnums out there, more than a few aren't even revolvers.
A list of a number of .357 revolvers:
-Remington R8 (8 rounds)
-Colt Python
-Beretta Stampede
-FN Barracuda
-MP-412 Rex
-Mateba Unica 6 (Recoil operated for a light trigger pull)
-Ruger Blackhawk
-A number of Smith & Wesson
-A number of Taurus (known for... questionable craftsmanship)

Personally I'd recommend the R8 for the 2 extra rounds.

Other than this, a few grammatical errors (seeing as you're likely new to this this isn't too big a deal). We usually take prior RP posts or a paragraph, no worries on that front. Though your example could be cut up into two paragraphs instead of one.
