For all DoW
Enough_Resolution829@reddit
Definitely not,still get issued the stamped steel mags
wtfredditacct@reddit
Y'all were getting stamped steel? Air Force got aluminum.
doogles@reddit
Is it over 50,000?

EasyMode556@reddit
Is that some kind of shroud over the suppressor ?
homemadeammo42@reddit
Yes. It looks like a modtac brand suppressor shroud. Keeps you from burning the shit out of yourself and keeps the can cooler than traditional suppressor covers
ChestFuzz@reddit
It's also on upside down.
Holes to the top mean he's going to have a lot of mirage to deal with if the shooting starts.
Holes to the bottom prevent that while still allowing for muzzle blast to pull fresh air in to help cool the can, sort of like the cooling system on the Lewis gun.
combo_seizure@reddit
Is putting the shroud on upside down an easy thing to mess up? Because it seems like these are the types of guys that wouldn't make that mistake, right?
Wild13ill@reddit
I think it was done on purpose tbh. It comes standard with a rail extension at the twelve o'clock, in his case he wouldn't have room for all his current accessories..
ChestFuzz@reddit
We use a version with a different mount and still see it upside down all the time since you can install it 180 in the wrong direction on the mounting collar.
I agree that it's possible he put the collar on upside down to clear rail space for whatever else he wants to run at 12, but unless the collar is different for the pic rail mounted version, he could still install the actual sleeve in the upside down orientation relative to the collar, which would give him right side up orientation to the rifle. I've got a pic rail mounted version somewhere, so I'll check if I find it.
OTOH, I'm just a dude, so he may have compelling reasons that make sense to him. He could also be the guy that defeats idiot-proof systems. Maybe it's a simple mistake because he was distracted by something more important when he was installing it. Who knows? He gets the benefit of the doubt.
Every unit, no matter how elite, still has their special people. After all, what do they call the guy who graduates last in his class from medical school?
wtfredditacct@reddit
Captain.
Wild13ill@reddit
Touché
ChestFuzz@reddit
Very easy to put on upside down... And you would be surprised.
Could be as simple as he was never told which way was up, and it's kind of intuitive to think that you want to release the heat. I see it all the time.
Disgruntled_Orifice@reddit
Yes. Let’s trust the random Redditor over the dude that has thousands of hours of training. He is clearly wrong. /s
bolt_actionzz@reddit
Modtac
Ekul13@reddit
Damn this pic goes hard.. I thought it was a scaled up Ready Or Not screenshot at first or something
Anyone know what suppressor cover is being used? Haven't seen anything like that before
Snuggleuppet@reddit
Lol you realize ready or not is based off of guys like this not the other way around 😂
umathurmansnatch@reddit
MODTAC suppressor shield
hadtobethetacos@reddit
bro is white knuckling the fuck out of his rifle lol.
NotSightmarkSimon@reddit
Nightforce gang rise up!
Guardiancomplex@reddit
Only the best when the taxpayer is footing the bill.
xterraadam@reddit
Out of the premium glass, Nightforce is the best bang for the buck. Maybe if he had a ZCO strapped up there?
SomeCar@reddit
Is he jerking off his rifle?
Ok-Substance-6034@reddit
Called a C clamp. Helps with muzzle rise and sets your armor plates a little more over your vitals, iirc
Mountain_Man_88@reddit
Been a busy couple years for the USSS Counter Assault Team!
JonRonstein@reddit
Full of false flags. Good training tho..
BrothaSeamus@reddit
Never go full rtard bud
FatnessEverdeen34@reddit
Too late
WhoNoseMarchand@reddit
The absolutely brain-dead comments in here man... The Reddit Leftist brigade in full force today lol.
Coeruleus_@reddit
These ppl have no chill was there even a shooter? Why does everyone have guns drawn?
throwsFatalException@reddit
Nah. They all decided to draw weapons to look cool. /s
just-the-teep@reddit
Yes there was a shooter. Take 20 seconds to google what happened before opening your stupid mouth.
bernfranksimo@reddit
Is there some sort of new age thinking about how to hold a rifle that I missed??
throwsFatalException@reddit
You must have missed the last 20 years of rifle training trends.
Disgruntled_Orifice@reddit
It’s stupid.
xj98jeep@reddit
Yep
Daqpanda@reddit
New New age rifle holding grip clamp c
Bloody_Insane@reddit
I thought this was a joke video but I've found it very informative. Brb, getting my front sight post tattooed on my index finger. And probably my middle finger as a backup.

This shit is nearly 2 decades old, grandpa
HSR47@reddit
Bro, it’s been a thing since the magpul dynamics DVDs ca. 2011.
JackedPirate@reddit
C clamp? Didn’t think it was that new. Does look a little odd but it actually works.
msur@reddit
Any one of them could easily live up to their oath to the Constitution instead of the President...
Club_Penguin_Legend_@reddit
"They should kill the president but ONLY the president i dont like."
DannyMeatlegs@reddit
Reddit!
OleRockTheGoodAg@reddit
dragon_sack@reddit
They're protecting the popularly elected head of state from an assassin. Sounds like they are living up to their oath. Anyone who believe in subverting the democratic process of election through violence is un-American. If you find issue with the current president, there are legal avenues to get them removed. Go out and campaign instead of asking people to do things you're too cowardly to do yourself.
Fuckin_Hipster@reddit
Dude shut up.
NotSmartNotFunny@reddit
Flagging everyone in the room.
Immediate_Ad7456@reddit
You really hit the nail on the head with that username, champ.
Bloody_Insane@reddit
The fuck do you expect him to do, make his weapon safe and stand down? The dude is working. He's literally looking for targets.
Are you going to complain that his gun is loaded, next?
goat-head-man@reddit
Pretty hard to avoid with 2,600 guests.
UH1Phil@reddit
I don't know, but shouldn't they wear gloves? Far too much glass and random sharp objects around if things becomes real dirty.
ncm0229@reddit
I don’t understand having your nods straight out like that. Dont you want to be able to have the availability of a peripheral view upwards?
goat-head-man@reddit
Interesting rundown here.
Dubs337@reddit
Selling the bit at the Correspondent’s Dinner
TheGurgeMan@reddit
Nods with the caps on still lmao
look_maa_no_hands@reddit
What a dolt. He’s not using them and they are a part of his kit, son.
xtreampb@reddit
Most caps have a pinhole. They’re meant to be used that way based on lighting conditions if they aren’t auto exposing.
Huntrawrd@reddit
Pretty sure he is using them like the bill of a cap. Thise stage lights are bright as shit.
Ornery-Exchange-4660@reddit
That makes the most sense. If you look, they are definitely blocking some light, leaving his eyes in the shadow of the night vision.
spinjitzu24@reddit
You obviously don’t own nods
Vortekai@reddit
I mean I don’t. But I work with them for a living every day and used them quite a bit in the army. I know in my field they’re definitely capped until we absolutely need them.
reanimaniac@reddit
Always better to have and not need...
OldCarry4838@reddit
Exactly. The logic was probably "what if a 12 man Iranian death squad cuts the power?"
Vortekai@reddit
I mean in a well lit building you’re probably not gonna need them but they’re probably required to be mounted.
GullibleRisk2837@reddit
Wait, is this you, OP? Explain this? Sick, big dawg 😎
Well__shit@reddit
No it was me
GullibleRisk2837@reddit
Ah shit
zippity__zoppity@reddit
What’s the patch? All I can read on it is “CAT” anyone know?

Secret Service Counter Assault Team.
Basically the USSS' SWAT team. Super high speed bunch of dudes.
zippity__zoppity@reddit
Thank you! Yeah the dude in the pic was quick to straddle that table in the video.

All that air soft practice finally paying off.
