Those 3 dudes in the center would get disqualified with how they laced their boots. Unprofessional and working hazards that may caused serious injury or death if they are boarding ship like that.

It’s an original C7 style rifle. C7 upper receiver-A1 rear sights with forward assist and brass deflector. With A2 handguards and stock. Produced by Colt Canada/Diemaco. Once used by Canadian military.

It’s a colt 711 that Taiwan bought from the US some decades ago

Please elaborate. 711 is known to have pencil profile barrels. I could see it being a later 711 with the C7 upper. But the barrel profile says it’s a 715. I’ll admit they’re export models and Colt is known to throw anything together.

https://a2928796.pixnet.net/blog/post/412171183 Here’s where I got the information, though I do see what you mean regarding the barrel profile. It could be that the coast guard acquired 715s while the mentioned police unit 7SPC had 711s. Taiwanese procurement of M16s from the US isn’t particularly well documented

I’m not an expert on the specific variants, but I did read from a Taiwanese source that the coast guard was given colt 711s. Definitely not a rifle from Canada though, at least not to my knowledge from the Chinese-language sources I’ve read from Taiwan

If i was going to be crawling around an inside ships all day, a mini Uzi would be great.

Not a bad choice, really!

Those aren't A2s! Those are A1s with A2 Handguards.
