Weapons and equipment of the US Navy Seals

The most common personal weapon of SEALs is the H & ampK MP5 9mm submachine gun. There are many versions to choose from, which is very suitable for special units. SEAL has been using all kinds of pistols since it became one of many units that rejected the controversial M9 pistol of the Army. Seals left Beretta behind after a defective slipcase took away some teeth. At present, the pistols used are Swiss Siegel-Sauer P226 navy model, H &；; USP45 assault pistol from K Company and Colt M 19 1 1. In the long-range shooting, SEALs use M/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/8 7.62x5/KOOC-0/MNATO bullet M/KOOC-0/4EBR rifle and MK./KOOC-0/2mod0/5.56× 45mm special rifle. Remington M700 7.62×5 1mm sniper rifle or Barrett M82 series 12.7×99mm semi-automatic anti-equipment sniper rifle or McMillan.50 caliber (12.7×99mm) semi-automatic sniper rifle. Night vision equipment is very important because they have a lot of work to do under the cover of night: it is known that SEALs use an/PVS-7 night vision goggles, AN/PVS- 14 and an/PVS- 15 night vision sights.

Water infiltration, the SEALs use the Zodiac F-470 rubber boat, which can carry seven people. The power is an outboard motor, which is very low and difficult to find. Other boats include 1 1m glass fiber reinforced plastic sea fox special combat boat, which is used for high-speed coastal attacks. In order to replace the general scuba equipment, SEALs used a closed circulation system, because it would not leave the well-known bubbles. In the long-distance water sports, SEALs used diving transport vehicles: MK6 carried four divers and MK9 carried two divers. These were carried out by two Allen-class former nuclear missile submarines.

During the Gulf War, SEALs patrolled the Iraqi and Kuwaiti deserts at the speed of 129km per hour by fast attack vehicle (FAV). These 50,000-dollar dune wagons are from off-road racing, equipped with M60 machine guns, M 19 40mm grenade launchers and AT-4 anti-tank rockets, which are worth seeing as a weapon supplement for SEALs. The FAV of SEALs was the first military vehicle of the Allied Forces to enter Kuwait City.

It is said that the SEAL's "reconnaissance rifle" was originally made by the SEAL's ordnance division, and was later modified by the Naval Ground Operations Center (NSWC- Crane). These "reconnaissance rifles" are light M4 sniper carbines used by SEAL snipers. At that time, the SPR project was in progress. Obviously, the SEALs at that time were disappointed with the performance of SPR, so they made more suitable weapons themselves.

Because the "reconnaissance rifle" is still mysterious, I haven't seen any verifiable pictures for the time being. It is said that there is a first-hand information called "reconnaissance rifle" (pronounced "Becky"). The specific parameters and how many such weapons Crane "produced" are still unknown. It is said that NSWC- Crane planned to produce more "reconnaissance rifles", but some SEALs thought it was a waste of energy and money, so the plan was basically shelved (perhaps for the change of SPR). However, there are other reports that the "reconnaissance rifle" has developed to the stage of drawing blueprints, that is, it is ready to go to the production line.

These "reconnaissance rifles" were originally self-made, with stainless steel barrel length of 16 inch (406 mm), produced by Lilja Precision Company, and their bore processed by Compass Lake Company, with winding distance of 1:8, which can shoot NATO standard bullets of any specifications, including M855 or Mk262. These barrels have the characteristics of M4 heavy-duty barrels. Within the length range of 2.60 inches (66 mm), the diameter of the rear half is 0.980 inches (25 mm), then it is reduced to 0.850 inches (22 mm), the diameter under the crosshead is 0.750 inches (19 mm), and then it is 0.725 inches (65438) all the way to the muzzle. The front end of the barrel is equipped with a KAC QD flame arrester, and a KAC QD muffler can be installed. Air guiding system for carbine length. These barrels are assembled on the flat-topped sleeve, and the fixed sight and gas guide hoop are reserved.

Because it is self-made, there is no uniform specification for the whole gun, which is completely improved according to personal preference. There are fixed stocks (A 1 and A2) and flexible stocks (Colt stocks with four fixed points and six improved fixed points at the beginning, or new stocks such as Crane, SOCOM and LMT). Later, Crane's "reconnaissance rifle" is said to use floating wood guards, commonly used as KAC M4 match Lars or longer Laru floating wood guards (to protect the barrel and provide more places to install tactical accessories). It is said that different people choose different backup mechanical sights, including KAC, Ames and Troy Industries. Because the "reconnaissance rifle" is used by snipers who perform vigilance or reconnaissance tasks, optical sights are mainly used. Similarly, different people have different choices. Most people choose Trijicon ACOG TA0 1 or TA3 1F, Leupold TS-30 A 1 or TS-30 A2, and NightForce, etc. The combat load of individual equipment is about 70 pounds, including:

A laser optical sight, a Sigshore pistol,

A saboteur tactical crowbar, radio communication equipment,

Maintenance kit for water and batteries, M4 assault rifle (with stroboscopic summoning and night vision goggles),

A medical kit and helmet, ammunition carrying vest and infrared hidden bulletproof vest.
