They are using Galil SAR ?

[Dalleer]

Looks like these guys are dressed up in Woodland as well, or maybe that's some Chilean pattern that has 0,0001 % difference to the US one.

Look at the 'bullet bag' er whatever on the MG. Looks a little like Jungle Auscam eh? Or old WW2 style American Pacific camo.

Either that or Vektor R4s...I can never see the difference, R4s have a slightly longer stock. The Galil pattern has been popping up all over the place as of late, especially in Central and South America and Eastern Europe. Personally I think, besides its weight, its a fine weapon, especially if your other choice would be another AK pattern weapon.

The Chilians are wearing a locally produced version of US BDUs. If I remember correctly, the various Chilian Commando Regiments use a mix of Galils and Sig 542 rifles.

The pic that's suppoed to be a USMC CH-53, is actually a AFSOC MH-53 Pave Low. The aircraft profiles are differnt and the mini-gun hanging out the window are hints.

As is the FLIR pod or the refueling boom

The ammo bag on the Minimi is made in AUSCAM and comers from Oz or NZ, I don't know; we use the same in the French army because the 200 rounds plastic ammo boxes were found to be too cumbersome.
