They were available from our armory. We had M16A1-A2, AK-47s, RPGs, SKSs, Grease Guns, MP5 with and without silencers, M21-M22s, Barrett Lights, McMillian 50cals, 50cals, M19 Grenade Launchers, Mortars of various sizes, Claymore Mines, Frags, Thermite Grenades, Crossbows. Beretta 9mm, Browning Highpowers, 1911 45s, Sig Sauer semis, Wather PPKs.. I captured a 308 from a Somali in 93 that's still that's probably still there.They issue them for special missions. Never used one on a M14.M14 Sniper Rifle with a silencer
Shadow 355
Nice rifle! Where'd you come by the suppressor?
However, I did use this.......it is sooooo sweet.
Suppressed HK MP5 with reactive sight.
I was with the DIA for 20 years. However, the ones WE were issued weren't available to the general public. I realize that Silencer Co and other companies make commercial products - that's why I was wondering where you came by yours and if you have a FFL. Frankly, I have no need for one - they knock down the muzzle velocity too much for me, but where I live (in the mountains of Montana - there isn't really much need for one.
A similar weapon as pictured was issued to me when I went to Kuwait in 91'. It's like shooting a BBgun. Double-tap center mass and one in the head in less that 1.5 sec. We used it for CQB. The only difference was the folding stock and the handgrip was a tiny bit different.
I used to train foreign nationals in taking down buildings. I was trained in anti-terrorism by some of the best.
