Celebrating 50 years of service so that freedom and liberty reign supreme!
Tactical Weapons Group, founded by a NAVSOC vet, put together a 50th anniversary package durable enough for SEALs that includes the battle-ready FN SCAR 17, EOTech HWS, SOG Pup knife and more.
The concept that warfare tactics, methods and weapons change over time is a given. We see it today in the ways that America’s armed forces fight terrorists abroad. Looking back to 1962, when America’s presence in Vietnam was mostly at the advisory level, President Kennedy recognized the changing face of warfare and gave the thumbs up for the services to create their own special operation detachments. The Navy responded by commissioning two Sea Air Land Teams (SEALs). This year marks the SEALs’ 50th anniversary.
WWII-Korean War Roots
The SEALs take their roots from the Navy frogmen of World War II, marking the beginning of the modern-day Naval Commandos. Navy frogmen were trained in Ft. Pierce, Florida, in the early 1940s. Decades later, Congress designated this location as the official National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum.
SOPMOD accessories allow operators to modify the 7.62mm FN SCAR 17 for a successful mission in any environment. This TWG edition is officially SEAL sanctioned.
Because WWII had many different types of combat, the U.S. armed forces had to adapt. The U.S. Navy recognized the need for the covert reconnaissance of landing beaches and coastal defenses and commissioned “Scouts and Raiders,” an amphibious infiltration group, in October 1942. This group saw combat in November 1942 on the North African coast during Operation Torch, the first Allied landings in Europe. Scouts and Raiders also supported landings in Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Normandy and southern France. Navy combat swimmers led the way, reconnoitering and clearing beaches full of obstacles, making it possible for Allied beach landings that proved critical to winning the war.

CMMG M4-LE 9mm

Magpul-maximized carbine delivers tactical performance for survival on the street!
The author took the excellent 9mm M4-LE from CMMG and enhanced it to the next level with a full complement of Magpul gear. Perfect for LE requirements in any environment (left), the use of 9mm allows for ammunition compatibility when transitioning between carbine and handgun.
To ensure proper fit and flawless functioning, the 9mm M4-LE’s lower receiver features a dedicated “filled” mag well.
If you like to shoot, to actually press the trigger versus standing around talking, any time you can save money on ammunition is a good time. Question: Why are we talking about .223 and 9mm ammunition in the same paragraph? Answer: They are both cartridges chambered in modern Stoner-based carbines.
A straight blowback system of operation is employed, with a bolt carrier assembly featuring greater mass than that of a .223 AR.
There have been AR-carbines chambering the 9mm cartridge for better than 20 years now. I can recall the great fervor that surrounded the Colt CAR-15 in 9mm when it was first released. I was only 19 years old when my local gun shop received a 9mm CAR-15 and hung it up on the wall.
