Realistic SEALs platoon.
« on: 25 Sep 2002, 19:07:30 »
It would be great to have a realistic SEAL team: armed with the CAR15, M14, M60E3, SR25/27 stoner, stoner MG, SIG P228. And realistic cammo, with no US insignias or anything. A zodiac or HSB (High speed boat) would be great to go with them!

Colonel Klink made a Zodiac, you could wait For Tales of War to Release their new SEALs, and Bibmi's Dessert SEALs are Shall I say
                          RIGHT ON!
and you could Re write the Config for it, they aren't Res Friendly as far as Hand guns go, but very nice, Blood textures and every thing! Down Load them Now at OFPEC addons Depot.

LOL Evisc, you kill me! :D  I think he means M4's and I don't know if the SEAL's still use the Stoner or the M60E3.  They might have switched to the M249 and the M240 at this point, but remember a lot of the times SEAL's will carry whatever they want as they are a specops unit and have a little leeway when it comes to personal loadouts.  In Vietnam they used to like to carry Swedish K submachine guns and silenced pistols known as "hush puppies" (I don't know if these were Browning High Powers with a big canister silencer or some other weapon).  Sometimes they carry enemy weapons so the sound of their firing confuses nearby enemies.

well he said car 15 which was the very first m16 carbine and m14 then onto the sig p228 which is not a vietnam weapon and the M60E3 which is the most modern incarnation of the m60 i believe

Okay, I paid a visit to some SEAL sites and oddly enough, he's not too far off.  It turnsout the SEALs still use the M79!  They also still use the Colt M1911A1 (though this is being phased out) and the M14.  Here are some interesting links:

using the M14 and the M1911 makes sense as the us military probably has a lot of surplus and they are both powerful weapons (and the m14 accurate) but using the m79 makes no sense at all, the M203 does a much better job as you have a handy M16/M4 attached :)

Could be.  Did you see the picture with the M79 with the extended barrel and the magazine tube with a pump underneath?  What the hell was that, some kind of M79 shotgun hybrid?

well, actually the SEALs still use the 79....some guys from Team 8 or 4 still keep them in their weapons lockers....It was in a new SEAL book...can't even remember the name..check your local Barnes and Noble.  It says somewhere in there...they use "whatever will get the job done"...And some people just use CAR-15 as a generic term for short versions of  the M-16s.  As far as I know the SEALs still use the M60E3....I don't think the green faces will ever give those up :-)

The strnag big bore weapon seems more like a specialist 37/40mm shot gun that an M79 so it's probably a multi role weapon(tactical muntions dispenser is probably the correct term)the rear brench block/assemble and stock looks a bit similar to the remington shot gun next to it(2nd from bottom).
it appears that it will have a 3 round capacity(1 in the chamber and 2 in the mag).
just some idle speculation.

SEALs like Delta and Special Forces Get what ever they Like and are most comfortable with, the SEALs, Delta, and SAS are in my opinion the best Special Ops units in the world (Don't Quote Me, It's just my opinion, though I know little of non US militarys) infact they probly get custom made Weapons.

The "Hush Puppies" were Smith & Wesson Mark 23, the "M79 with the extended barrel and the magazine tube with a pump underneath" is actually a totally different weapon, I believe it it called the China Lake Pump Action Grenade Launcher. Since the seals were not likeing the M79 that much, they requested a more, um, faster shall I say, weapon. It's basically a Shotgun Grenade Launcher, but it wasn't all that good, so it was phased out.  :)

Replaced by the M203, as Evis said, which comes with a handy M16/M4 to boot.

BTW, the "Swedish K submachinegun" was called m45, not K ;)

I remember hearing that it was in fact, the most favoured jungle-warfare SMG of all times.
LOL, just found a pic of it with a bayonet on, check it out

For a weapon that's 55 centimeters (folded), that's pretty cool =)
