However, there are also different ranks in the seal forces, which are divided into ordinary seals and seal 6 teams, which participate in the most tasks and have the strongest combat effectiveness. In the mid-1980s, this "Team 6" was separated from the whole SEALs and became an independent department, renamed as "Navy Special Operations Research Brigade", abbreviated as "DEVGRU" in English, but most people still like to call it "SEALs Team 6". The tasks and work they perform are completely different from the conventional "seals", and the weapons and equipment used are also more top-notch. Having said that, this issue will take stock of the top ten commonly used individual light weapons of the "Navy Special Operations Research Brigade" for everyone.
HK4 16A5 assault rifle
It is an improved version of the standard model HK4 16. The general shape of the gun body has not changed, but the materials used are lighter, including less dense engineering plastics, polymers and a small amount of fiber materials. The weight is lighter than the standard model, the empty gun is only 3. 12 kg, and the appearance is also coated with anti-corrosion materials. The color of the butt and grip adopts the most popular desert color at present. The barrel of A5 has also become shorter, also known as "short assault rifle", which is just suitable for special forces and often carries out indoor melee of CQB. Its caliber ammunition has not changed, and it is still 5.56x45mmNATO small caliber ammunition with a capacity of 30 rounds, with three-burst, single-shot and fully automatic firing modes. The theoretical firing rate can reach 700-900 rounds per minute, and its performance is completely superior to that of M4CQBR, namely MK 18 assault rifle of ordinary seal forces. HK4 16A5 models usually cooperate with holographic sights and silencers to fight.
Hgkg28 precision shooting rifle
One of the most expensive precision shooter rifles in the world, its predecessor was G27-class shooter rifle, but after strict selection and improvement, G28 model was derived and became a special weapon for special warfare players. But it is expensive and can only be equipped with a small number of elite special forces, such as SEAL 6. Although G28 is a precision shooter rifle, its accuracy has reached the standard of special tactical sniper rifle. It can be equipped with a PMII 3-20×56 sight to accurately hit targets within 800 meters. On the sniper mirror, it can also be equipped with an Aimpoint micro T2 red dot sight, which can be used for short-range targets. G28 fires 7.62x5 1mmNATO full-power ammunition, which can be supplied by 10 rounds or 20 rounds of polymer transparent magazines. The gun body is also made of a small amount of fiber material. Although it looks spacious, it is light in weight and is a tactical sniper rifle commonly used by SEAL 6.
MK23 Mod 0 combat pistol
It's actually an enlarged model of USP. The caliber of ammunition was changed from 9x 19mm to 45APC preferred by the US military. It is also larger in size and volume than the standard USP tactical pistol. At the same time, it can expand the silencer, that is, the laser pointer and the tactical accessories of the flashlight are integrated under the shell, and a little red dot sight can be installed on the top of the gun body. MK23 is also more powerful than the common 9mm pistol, so SEAL 6 usually calls MK23 a "heavy tactical pistol". The caliber of ammunition is 1 1.43x23mm, and the ammunition capacity is 12 rounds, which can cause great damage to soft targets within 50m distance. In particular, its caliber, strength and expansibility are deeply loved by the six teams.
SIG P226 Tactical semi-automatic pistol
This gun was the standard pistol of the US special forces as early as 2004, but it was not equipped until 20 10. M9A 1 pistol was used in the early stage, but P226 equipped in the later stage is an improved version of special tactics, which can fire 9x 19mm pistol and 40s&W and 357 SIG pistol. SEAL 6 usually uses 9mm and.40 caliber. According to different operational environments, the original version of Sigshore P226 was renamed as MK25 tactical pistol system. P226 used by Team Six adopts modular design, and there is a picatinny guide rail at the bottom of the chassis, which can be used to install various tactical lights and laser indicators. The barrel part can be equipped with silencers in different situations. If you use a pistol alone to perform a task, you can install a red dot sight on the top of the box. The gun body is made of polymer plastic and coated with desert color or all-terrain camouflage, and the overall value has increased.
Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol
Glock 17, also known as Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol, is widely used. In addition to the police and the Secret Service, SEAL 6 has many tactical improvements Glock 17. But there is not much change in essence. The ammunition is still 9x 19mm, but the appearance has been improved, making the traditional Glock more modular. The gun body is made of engineering plastic, and the sleeve is designed with bare tube, which can achieve the purpose of heat dissipation and beauty. However, it is mainly to reduce weight. The gearbox also has picatinny guide rail, which is no longer Glock's default accessory slot, which means that more tactical accessories can be expanded. A miniature red dot sight can also be installed on the top of the gun body, and the magazine is lengthened, which has a strong tactical style.
MK48 Mod 0 tactical light machine gun
It is a special tactical light machine gun for American special forces, which is improved on the basis of M240B general machine gun, namely the original FN MAG machine gun. The gun body has removed many unnecessary designs and used a lot of engineering plastics. The gunstock also adopts AR structure, and its overall weight is 30% lighter than M240B, which enhances the flexibility in combat and is more convenient to carry. The MK48 machine gun fires 7.62x5 1mm NATO full-power ammunition, which can be replenished with 100 rounds of ammunition chain or 150 rounds of ammunition boxes. Then as a tactical gun of special forces, it will inevitably adopt modular design. There are tactical guide rails around the chassis, and optical sights or other necessary accessories can be installed. SEAL Team 6 uses an enhanced model. In peacetime, it will be equipped with special silencers and night vision sights. The effective range can reach 1000m, the gun body is shortened, and it can be operated flexibly like a rifle.
HK MP7 individual self-defense submachine gun
This kind of gun usually plays the role of personal self-defense weapon in SEAL 6, and is generally used as a self-defense weapon for rear commanders, or for bombers and bomb disposal machines. However, the combat team will also be equipped with MP7 submachine guns when performing reconnaissance, escort and security tasks. This kind of gun has a small caliber and fires 4.6x28mm special ammunition, which is even smaller than P90 personal self-defense submachine gun used in 1990s. However, the 4.6 mm ammunition has high penetration, which can penetrate most body armor with ceramic or metal components. MP7 can carry as many as 40 rounds. The gun also adopts a modular design. Picatinny guide rails are arranged at the top and both sides of the box, and flashlights, laser pens and holographic sights can be installed. Mufflers can also be installed at the muzzle, which is more lethal than MP5 submachine guns in melee.
M320 Grenade launcher module
In fact, M320 is a 40mm grenade launcher similar to M230, which is usually installed on M 16 rifle or M4 carbine, but M320 is more modular in design. In addition to being installed on the rifle, it can also be unfolded. A foldable grip similar to an MP7 submachine gun can be installed at the lower part of the guide rail, and the sight can be expanded to be used as an independent weapon. In addition, it is smaller than the traditional Grenade launcher and is very convenient to use. Therefore, SEAL 6 uses it as an independent Grenade launching weapon, which can accurately attack bunkers or small buildings in medium and long distances.
AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher
As an amphibious combat team, SEAL 6 will inevitably encounter enemy armored targets, even tanks, not just CQB melee, so it will also be equipped with anti-tank weapons, such as the most advanced AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher, but this weapon was developed by FFV in Sweden, and the US military only purchased it in bulk. AT4 adopts the firing principle of recoilless gun, which is just suitable for individual soldiers. When AT4 launches hollow charge armor-piercing projectile, there will be several stages of contact, combustion and armor-piercing projectile, and then it will be destroyed inside the armor. AT4 has a caliber of 84mm, a total length of 1000mm, a combat weight of 6.7kg, an effective range of 300m, and a armor-piercing thickness of 400 mm. It can be equipped with a simple mechanical sight, a thermal image and a low-light-level sight, or a more advanced electronic fire control system.
"Super Shorty" Pump Gun
It is a very short single-shot shotgun with a total length of only 55.8 cm. It can fire 12 lead bullets, 12 deer bullets and 12 conventional shotguns, but the "ultra-short" shotguns are usually only used for tactical door-breaking, only when the main battle weapon has no time to change the magazine. The structure of the gun is very simple, which is a traditional pump-driven shotgun. There is no modular design, only a foldable handle is installed at the bottom of the gun pump, which can achieve the purpose of rapid loading, rapid shooting and better control of weapons.
