Which Weapons Are Allowed?

Post by chuck976 »

Rangers

I was wondering if you were issued a specific weapon, like an M-16 or an M4, once in battalion or if you are aloud to buy your own, or buy custom add-ons too them (sights, flashlights, etc.).

The only weapon you're encouraged to bring is your mind. I'm thinking you're taking a knife to a gun fight though.... :lol:

You'd have been amazed at what some Rangers did with their 'A2's, 100mph tape, and zip-ties.


Not as long as there were guys like me with A1s!
