Interesting observation--If you regularly use the "ignore user" function and flag users the first time they post something you deem offensive or otherwise not worthy of reading, threads like this CONSISTENTLY become a HELLUVA lot shorter.

I started to say, "Good point, maybe I should try that" then I realized you'd almost certainly never see it.

I too was curious about this but I realize now that I was wrong to feel that way. I'm going to take this profound sense of shame that I currently feel and use it to make myself a better person. Thanks for squaring me away.

Last I checked, we have never been in need of a 'comeback'. Our standards for fighting have not slipped, nor been shoddy. We are indeed home to the finest fighting forces on the planet, and are always improving our capabilities to fight.

Re: what weapons did the Seals us on the pirates?

Interesting post to say the least. Fighting and flaming over what?...a question? That we ask here often? This is where some of you senior (and former) NCO/Operators might set a young man straight as much as you can about this business. It ain't just the weapons but the running and carrying a ruck for miles, under less than pleasant conditions. Being a patrol leader and having to think when you're so tired you'll walk right into your buddy or a tree. Just my thought.

So, for pure conjecture, I will say that when I was in (the U.S Army 1/75th Rangers), the Seals and D-boys, pretty much picked their weapon of choice. Most had several firearms assigned to them. It seems the surge in popularity of the M-16 series of rifles would be my guess as to what they used. When I was in everybody had the M-16A1 or Car-15. I don't know when the Navy went to the Mk and Mod nomenclature, but I don't remember them calling it that when I was in. Now, operators are using all kinds of mods and barrel lengths for mission specific criteria. Along with ammunition we never got. Last I heard was the Mk 13 Mod 1..what it means I have no idea. Only, it ain't your grandpa's M16-A1, thats for sure.

Someone probably brought along a 7.62x51 on a highly accurized platform (SR-25?? maybe M-21, those are still around). So that they could penetrate the walls of the lifeboat better if need be. Again, all the stuff on it and what got done to it were never an option for us but the Seal teams and D-Boys got them. And, rightfully so, They needed them for their operation they should get them.

For those of you who want to rush out and buy the stuff, and the T-shirts, more power to you. That's what keeps the industry and our First and Second Amendments alive.

For the actual op. I commend the Captain of the Brisbain and the Cdr of the team on board for giving the go-ahead to shoot. When given minimal allowance of engagement they waited for the time they felt something could have happened and took the right course of action. In hindsight, having three dead bodies is a stronger deterrent than the PR coming out of Somalia says it is. Fully half of the pirate types operating off that coast just decided their going to throttle back a bit. The rest of the idiots that would die for their cause deserve just that. I'm a little tired of seeing completely overt criminals getting treated lightly in these cases. This crap of "It's just their way of life" or/so "They don't know any better" is BS. They don't want to work as a nation to bring themselves to modern standards. Or any standard of decency. Somalia is clearly a nation internally collapsed and no one inside the country cares. That whole subject would/should be a new post though.

My hat's off to the guys who pulled this one off successfully and to the rest our military...where ever they may be and what ever they are doing. Stay safe

update, i have it from confidential sources that the operators in question actually used wire guided atl-atl's to neutralize the somali boys choir who were only trying to audition for "so u think u can sing" a new hit series.

Re: what weapons did the Seals us on the pirates?

I've heard thru the grape vine that Samuel L. Jackson flew overhead and got those "mutha fuckin snakes off that mutha fuckin plane". Thus dumping a large amount of highly poisonous and ill tempered reptiles onto the terrorist.

It went so smoothly because while the "pirates" were not looking Chuck Norris went in and sprayed the love scents all over their neck.

The End.

ROGUE7 : I AM JUST GLAD THAT IT IS NOT JUST THE PRESENTLY ACTIVE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE WELCOME HERE, IT WOULD BE BORING, THE SECOND AMENDMENT WOULD HAVE A LOT LESS SUPPORT; THE GREAT GUN CO.S WOULD BE FEWER AND POORER; NO ONE WOULD BE AROUND TO PROVIDE LIVELY ACTION ON THE CLASSIFIEDS BUYING AND SELLING; NO ONE WOULD CARE WHAT THE SNIPERS DO, OR WHY OR HOW...
I AM GLAD FOR THE PROS THAT DO EXPLAIN THINGS;
I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAKE SEAL AND REAL DEAL...
I ALSO WONDER IF THERE ARE FOLKS HERE WHO THINK THAT ONLY THE REAL DEAL PROFESSIONAL SHOULD HAVE GUNS, LEARN, PRACTICE, DISCUSS, ETC. OR IF THE RIGHTS TO OWN A GUN AND USE IT ARE JUST FOR THE ELITE..
IF THAT IS THE CASE, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT OUTRIGHT...IF THAT IS THE CASE THE PROFESSIONALS ARE NOT WHAT I THOUGHT, AND NOT FOR THE REASONS I THOUGHT; IF SOME OF YOU ARE SO ELITIST THAT THE OTHERS HERE CRAMP YOUR STYLE, TALK ONLY TO YOUR EQUALS.. WE DO NOT NEED YOU TO WASTE OUR TIME EITHER... CAUSE YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING NOTHING.. PROVING NOTHING...
I AM TRYING TO NOT GET TOO AGGRAVATED THAT ASKING A QUESTION OR WANTING TO SIMPLY EXPRESS AN OPINION ON WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN USED MAKES ONE A FUCK TARD -- LIKE THERE IS NO REASON TO TALK OR ASK OR PARTICIPATE IF YOU ARE NOT THE REAL DEAL AND IF YOU ARE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK OR DISCUSS...SO WHY ARE ANY OF US HERE ? FOR THE TALK AND DISCUSSINO AND LEARNING..
IF THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN HAVE AN OPINION OR A QUESTION ARE PROFESSIONALS, WHY COME HERE..YOU GUYS CAN JUST DISCUSS IT AT THE RANGE, OR THE INTEL GATHERINGS, DEBREIFINGS, ETC...GOTTA SEE EM TO KNOW THEY ARE REAL, YOU KNOW.. AND MAYBE RETIRED IS NOT COOL EITHER ...
THE REGULAR GUY MAKES THIS SITE AS LARGE AND POPULAR AS IT IS, AND THE REGULAR GUY SUPPORTS MANY SHOOTING SPORTS AND MANY OF THE SHOOTING INDUSTRY THAT EXIST OFF OF THE WHOLE GROUP AND NOT JUST THE PROS..THAT KIND OF INSULTING BS SPOUTED HERE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE SITE, FOR THE INDUSTRY NOR FOR THE IMAGE OF THE PROFESSIONALS THAT OTHERS HERE WOULD HAVE A GOOD MODEL TO IMITATE... YOUR DEMEANOR IS SLANDEROUS TO THE PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE ALSO INSTUCTORS TO THE REST OF US, AND MODELS TO THE REST OF US..I DO NOT CARE PERSONALLY IF YOU ARE THE BEST SNIPER, MOST TRAINED ETC. .. COULD HAVE FOOLED ME..
YOU SHOWED ME NOTHING BUT YOUR BUTT... I HAVE NOTHING BUT THE DEEPEST RESPECT THE ONES HERE WHO DO HAVE ENOUGH HONOR TO TREAT OTHERS WITH CIVILITY, AND PATIENCE; IF YOU ARE A GREAT HERO WHO HAS TO TREAT FOLKS LIKE YOU DID TONITE, I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU DO OR WHAT YOU DID.. YOU DID NOT DO IT FOR ME.. YOU DID IT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR OWN EGO TRIP... IF YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO BE INSULTING INSTEAD OF HELPFUL, I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU KNOW NOR WHAT YOU THINK ON THE SHOOTING ARTS OR ME OR MY OR OTHERS' QUESTIONS; AND WILL NOT READ AGAIN WHAT YOU SAY OR FAIL TO SAY CAUSE YOU ARE TOO ATE UP WITH THE DUMB ASS..
(IGNORE BUTTON ON... BLOCK THE FUCK TARD..)-- ::
btw THAT IS A COOL WORD THOUGH, THANKS FOR THAT .. FUCK TARD... YOU FUCKTARD.. --DOES IT HAVE TO BE TWO WORDS.. OR CAN IT BE ONE .. OR HYPHENATED LIKE FUCK-TARD-- ? I GUESS YOU WILL GET YOUR HACKLES UP AT THAT TOO.. ONLY YOU CAN CALL OTHERS FUCK TARD... ? OR IS IT TOO ELEMENTARY A QUESTION.. ? HEY I ALREADY KNEW I WAS A FUCK TARD.. DID YOU NOT REALIZE YOU WERE ONE ? IT WILL BE OK.. SCREAM AT A NEWBIE TILL YOU ARE ALL WELL..THEY WILL GET OVER IT AND WHO CARES ANY WAY RITE ?

R7A, if you ever need anything done I can do let me know and if I had your address I'd send you a friggin' Christmas card every year from now on.

You weren't harsh; its just that the truth sounds harsh.
And if any of your people ever need anything my friends and I can do we would love the opportunity to be of service in any way.

This is a pretty old thread didn't realize it would be revived. Synchronized shooting does not require electronic trigger control. Just good shooters. synchronized shooting does not have to be milliseconds apart especially with silenced rifles.

Re: what weapons did the SEALs us on the pirates?

funny that his posts are deleted now...lol
Can someone still explain to me how this syncrofire bull shit would be a good thing by not allowing the shooters to pull the trigger when they want to? I guess you've got to be sooo high speed low drag that you can hold dead nuts while you wait for everyone else to pull? Oh, and they have to hold dead nuts as well?

I'm sure this thread will never die, in fact we should keep it around for profiling purposes. seems to be working at least..lol

 

[The Mechanic]

Re: what weapons did the SEALs us on the pirates?

the only way it will work is to have the spotter have a countdown of some form of timing to allow the shooter to pace his breathing so all would be at the pause when all shots break. Just does not make any sense at all to have some shooters possibly on the exhale or inhale during shot break. Just plain stupid. Electronics are great but the human mind and body is just unbelievable
