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

HK MK23 is one of the most thoroughly tested handguns in  history, the MK23/Mark 23 project originated in 1991 when HK began development  for the U.S. Special Operations Command, the organization that directs the  activities of America’s most elite military units, including the Navy SEALs and  the Army Special Forces.

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 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
