Yes. It's spelled "Diemaco," IIRC (and this is what they're generally called 
regardless of the model), and I forgot that "we" also use the LMG version of 
this rifle, the one with the square forward handguard and vertical foregrip. I 
also left out the sniper rifles because I can never remember the models in 
service :)
