MODERN NAVY SEAL WEAPONS

SOFREP MK20 Sniper Support Rifle

FN MK20

The FN MK20, U.S. Special Operations Command notified FN that the MK 20 MOD 0 Sniper Support Rifle (SSR)—a variant of the Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) family of weapons, MK 17 (7.62mm)—was granted Milestone C and approved for full-rate production. The Full-Rate Production Decision Review by the Milestone Decision Authority occurred on October 28, 2010.

SOFREP FN_SCAR-L_(Standard)

FN MK17 SCAR Long Barrel

The FN SCAR STD assault rifle is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO caliber and is fitted with a standard 16″ barrel.

The operator can replace the standard barrel with a short 13″ barrel for close quarter combat in less than five minutes. The rifle is then called SCAR®-H CQC.

SOFREP Navy SEAL scar_h_cqc_eglm_d_02

FN SCAR CQC w/Grenade Launcher

The FN SCAR CQC assault rifle can be fitted with the FN40 grenade launcher mounted on the lower rail of the rifle, for additional firepower.

The SCAR CQC assault rifle is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO caliber and is fitted with a short 13″ barrel for close quarter combat.
The operator can replace the short barrel with a standard 16″ barrel in less than five minutes if the mission requires engagement at longer distances.

SOFREP_hK_mp5n

HK MP5N

HK MP5N (9mm). Developed exclusively for one of the world’s most elite special operations unit, the MP5-N (Navy) model comes standard with an ambidextrous trigger group (safe, single fire, & full automatic fire) and threaded barrel. Operationally tested and proven, this configuration represents the essence of the modern submachine gun.

SOFREP_HK_mp5sd

HK MP5 SD

The MP5SD (9mm) is the full-time suppressed variant of the MP5 submachine gun. This version uses an integral aluminum or optional wet-technology stainless steel sound suppressor. Due to its ported barrel, it does not require use of subsonic ammunition for effective sound reduction like most conventional sound suppressed submachine guns. The removable sound suppressor is integrated into the weapon’s design and conforms to the normal length and profile of a conventional, unsuppressed submachine.

SOFREP NAVY SEAL FNM0122mb

FN MK13 Stand Alone Grenade Launcher

The FN Mk 13 grenade launcher weighs 2.8 kg (incl. leaf sight) and features a retractable buttstock that makes the weapon very compact (not exceeding 528mm). This ensures easy transport and quick engagement.

SOFREPCOLTM4
COLT M4A1

The M4A1 and its variants fire 5.56mm rounds and are gas operatted, air-cooled, magazine fed (some full auto) weapons. They are still in use but have been mainly replaced by the FN SCAR series.

SOFREP HK MK23

HK MK 23 SOCOM .45

SOFREP P226-NAVY-Detail-L

SIg 226 Navy

The SIG SAUER P226 is the pistol that set the standard by which all other combat handguns are measured. Designed as SIG’s entrant in the military trials to replace the 1911, today the P226 is in use by the Federal agents, and numerous law enforcement agencies including the Texas Rangers, Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Michigan State Police to name a few. The exceptional ergonomics and balance make this full-size pistol easy to handle. Its longer barrel yields better ballistic performance and accuracy. The P226 Navy is identical to the pistol carried by the U.S. Navy SEALs-the fleet’s special warfare operators. The railed P226 chambered in 9mm and engraved with an anchor on the left side of the slide is the official sidearm of the SEALs.

 

SOFREPSIG228

The SIG P228 is supremely reliable out of the box. Its reliability can only be matched by the P226.  The P228 (Compact 13-round) and both are type classified as the M11.

The AK 47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The SEALs have the AK 47 in the inventory for a variety of missions. It is one of the most reliable weapons ever made and makes for a great choice when having to swim a weapon over the beach.

SOFREPM14
M-14 7.62mm with 20 round magazine

The M14 7.62 Semiautomatic machine gun continues to be a work horse in the SEAL Teams. The powerful 7.62 round, 800 yard effective range, coupled with a 20 round magazine make it an excellent choice for SEAL Operators in desert or open terrain missions.

SOFREP M249 Machine Gun
M249 5.56mm Machine Gun

The M249 5.56mm Machine Gun is gas operated and air-cooled. It has a quick-change barrel, allowing the gunner to rapidly replace an overheated or jammed barrel. A folding bipod is attached near the front of the gun. It can be fed from both linked ammo and M4 magazines.

SOFREPM240B

M240B/N Machine Gun (7.62)

The M240B/N (aka M60) Machine Gun.  All variants are fed from disintegrating belts, and are capable of firing most types of 7.62 mm NATO ammunition. M240 variants can use non-disintegrating belts (following replacement of a few easily swappable parts).

    • In the IDF, 'Lonely Soldier' is a term that describes soldiers serving on active duty who have no family is Israel. These are volunteers that came to serve for 3-5 years. They typically go back to their respective countries upon completion. Most commonly, these are people who immigrated to Israel by themselves. I was one of them. While in Israel, I lived in an apartment building where the majority of people were lonely soldiers. It was located on the outer ring of Jerusalem, surrounded by four Arab villages. My roommates were two recon guys (like me) and one who worked in field intel. All of the other inhabitants were soldiers from various units, with most of them serving a combat role. It was a well known thing, especially to the Arabs in the village. Most of the time we wouldn't be there, but when we were on leave, we would come to the apartment for a little R&R. It was rare that the four of us were there at the same time, but once in a blue moon, it did happen. Each village had, as is customary, its own mosque. When the time for prayer came, the loudspeakers would call out to the faithful. It was OK, we were used to it. However, over the weekend they would make it a point to play the call to prayer very, and I mean VERY, loud. They knew soldiers would be in the building trying to get some sleep - recovering from several weeks in the field. This always annoyed me but there was nothing I could do. On this particular weekend, after an intense seven weeks of non-stop ops, all I wanted was to go to the apartment, sleep, eat, sleep some more and then sleep again. That weekend the four of us were at the apartment and we were all equally tired. We arrived Thursday night and after a small dinner and some beers, we went to sleep. At 0400 we all jumped.... The freaking loudspeakers at all four mosques began their call to prayer at full blast. Fuck.... We spent the remainder of the day trying to rest and every time we would fall asleep, again... The call for prayers, full blast! Over lunch, we all looked at each other and knew this had to stop. We came up with a plan. I know it wasn't nice, but at that point we couldn't care less about political correctness. Here's what we did. After some recon that night, we noticed that the call to prayer wasn't performed by an Imam or some other person with a microphone. It was a tape recorder that used a tape. We figured the four of us, experts in stealthy infils, could sneak in and steal those tapes. However, while we were planning the different infil routes for each village, we all smiled and did something better. We recorded Metallica's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' on repeat on all four tapes and then waited till midnight. At midnight, each one of us - armed with a Metallica tape - headed to a different village. All dressed in black, we were careful not to be seen. We entered into the buildings and exchanged the tapes. We rallied back to the exfil point, a crossroad not far from the last village and headed back to our apartment. And then we waited... At 0350 we went to the roof with some coffee, opened some field chairs and waited for the show to begin. At 0400 sharp the first "call" came alive, full volume: Make his fight On the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside ... Take a look To the sky Just before you die It's the last time he will Followed by the next, then the 3rd and 4th joined in. Full volume Metallica! Soon after, we heard sirens headed to the villages. I don't know what happened after that, but we had our own private concert, right there. No kidding, there I was... Metallica call to prayer

      No Kidding There I Was... Metallica Call to Prayer
