On the first pic, does the guy have a circular saw? Also noticed on the third pic they have the old m16 foregrip on it. Like the colt sp1

Yes and Yes. Some of the photos are not from yesterday, but years ago. Which is probably why they dont have black bars over their faces.

Good for breaching chain link fence and walls, and administering traumatic amputations, yes?

[96B]

It makes for a good interrogation tool :lol:

[Sirpad]

OK - fine. have a circular saw. two questions though:
why is the saw BRIGHT RED, and the saw pack WHITE?!
In the army they tought us something called CAMOUFLAGE,
and they toghut it for a good reason...

[PSYWAR1-0]

Once you start using the saw, there is no reason to worry about camoflauge. What you need then is consealment.

[96B]

That looks orange to me :lol:

[Duke]

Is that Scott in the bottom middle of the first pic?

[odh2507]

what is the tank for on the chest f the divers?

[Seraphim]

Its for the rebreather, its full of pure oxygen.

[odh2507]

oh ok thx man

[Scrim]

You have a point sirpad, although I remember thinking the same thing when I saw Ranger Bn. using a Dewalt yellow saw!

[FallenAngel]

For anyone who's ever actually used one of those saws (i have) you would realize camoflauge would mean **** on that. You turn it on and everyone within a half mile hears it. ;)

[He219]

Try Cutting Steel with a Cutt Off Saw and it's even louder!

[gregb]

I think he ment it would be usefule to camoflage the saw in order that you dont get seen before u get to use it. that is unless the sawing objective is only 10 feet from the insertion Zone. p-) :oops:

[Phantom]

if they new about it, which they probably do, there's a thing that the us has called Ice Piss (featured in sum of all fears). it's basically liquid nitrogen in an aerosol can, quieter than a ****in saw!

[Dodger1911]

Looks like the guy in the middle front of the second picture is doing his best Ultra Man impression.

[1hardmarine]

The circular saw is used in maritime interdiction or a direct action raid on a ship to cut holes a bulkheads. It really isnt too safe trying to fight your way down a passage way when you can cut your room to room.

Those are "dummy" m-16's, made out of hard rubber with a lifelike barrel...For training, ya know. Better to use one of those than to keep using your issued weapon, especially in the salt water.

[fng]

In the Army it is known as a "rubber duck". It weighs about the same as an M-16A1.
I know a guy who had to use it to save his life on an SFAS orienteering course in North Carolina. A pack of feral dogs surrounded him so he grabbed his duck by the barrel and swung at the nearest dog. He beat the dog to death. The other dogs backed away until he left the scene then they moved in and ate the dead dog.

[Apogee]

Rubber Ducky you're the one, Rubber Ducky....

[GLax]

that saw also good for masonry purposes, i've used one to cut cyder blocks. its kinda dangerous though cuz if it kicks back ur gonna cut a giant hole in urself...

[Uncle Sam]

"Rubber Ducky"....exactly....
