Diemaco Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ok this is stuff I found in a book it is the stuff the SAS have been using from the year 2000 onwards, this is not official in formation and is just a guide. Weaponry SMG MP5A4/A5 MP5kA4/A5/PDW MP5 SD5/6 Assault Rifles G3/SG1 G36c Handguns SIG P226 FN Herstal 5.7 FN Browning HP Sniper Rifles AI L96A1 PM Entry Weapons Remington 870 shotgun Remington 870 Hatton shotgun Clothing Black Nomex assault coverall Body Armour Kevlar and Nomex ABA, with optional ceramic plates that can stop a 7.62 bullet Assault Vests Contrary to popular myth the SAS do wear assult vests on the CT team these are chosen by the operator and range from Black PLCE jobbies to BHI Omegas Specialist equipment CT12 Respirator, this is not an S10 Abseiling equipment Nomex Hood Sledge Hammers REE Foot/Handwear Any rubber soled boots NI gloves Nomex Gloves Abseiling/Fast roping gloves Illumination Maglites on scope mounts Special integrated weapon lights That is my conclusion and if you argue you are saying that I am blind or can't read so please don't!

The Quarter-master Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Assault Vests Contrary to popular myth the SAS do wear assult vests on the CT team these are chosen by the operator and range from Black PLCE jobbies to BHI Omegas <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so what exactly did people think they wore???

Diemaco Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 It is a myth that the SAS just wore ABA and a belt rig but the ones that have to carry more use assault vests. Link to post Share on other sites
The Quarter-master Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 well anyone with any sense would know thats wrong, if you realised just how much kit they have to carry. ok so they don't carry as much for the CRW role as for standard green operations but still they carry a decent amonut of equipment.

Diemaco Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Mostly they just carry there primary, secondry and 3 mags for each unless there an MOE guy Link to post Share on other sites
mig_eater Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Speaking of MOE, i was under the impression they used the vicious looking 2 pronged hooligan bar above sledge hammers, mainly becuase you can pry with them too. and although i'm not hard nut sas (obviously ), i wouldn't fancy legging it round with a sledge hammer strapped to my back lol Cheers Mig Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 If your talking 2000 onwards ditch the maglite on a scope mount, bang on for the eighties embasy, but way out of date now! Link to post Share on other sites
Diemaco Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 No it isn't, in the 80s the SAS didn't use maglites. Nowadays they can use whatever torch they want to on their MP5, yes mig-eater they use crow bars aswelll as sledge hammers but I didn't name them all because they would be useless for airsoft Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The Pictures I've seen and the reconstructions on documentaries with advisors who where their and took part clearly show 2 perhaps 3 D Cell Maglites in claw mounts on the MP5's. When talking about the op they clearly say thinkgs like "We entered the room pinged him with a torch and opened fire". Why would they know choose to use a *beep* torch like a maglite which is to big and heavey and upsets the balance of the weapon, when they could use a forend mounted Surefire which produces more light in a focused beam with no dark spots. The maglite option was used in the eighties because it was all their was, now their are much better options and the CRW boys use them. Link to post Share on other sites
Diemaco Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 They can use any commersially available torch, I saw the pic and the guy has a maglite on his five, in the 80s the Regimenat did not use maglites they used another type of torch, and if you put a surefire (or something of the likewise) bulb in a maglite it can be just as bright and not as expensive to set up as a surefire, if you look at pics of the Embassy siege you will see that they did not use maglites.

Guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 about handguns, what about usps, glocks? also some of them used m93rs (prob not past 2000 though) does the hi-power have an extended mag? and i can confirm, that well, for certain around '95 some had maglites on scope mounts and i know that for a fact as right now i am looking at a dated photograph of one, in the sas illustrated history.

Diemaco Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Glocks and USPs aren't issue, I was suprised that they used the 5.7 to be honest. I don't understand how any terrorist thinks that they stand a chance against the men in black. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Glocks and USPs aren't issue, I was suprised that they used the 5.7 to be honest <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but usually sas can pick their weapons for each individual mission, cant they? and i have seen pictures of sas with glocks (i think) and what looks to be the bottom (mag plate) of a usp in a holster. I don't understand how any terrorist thinks that they stand a chance against the men in black. true one thing for certain that they use, is the mp5s listed, the browning hp and the sig. thats a definate. they dont only use the l96, the did use the tikka finlander .223 in the '90s. And a g3 as a sniper rifle (date unknown) also the arwen (fires gas grenades and grenades) for those who ddon't know what it is, its a six barrelled revolver style grenade launcher.

Diemaco Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 They can choose their weapons but for anti-terrorist work is mainly standard issue to have MP5 an P226, some use G36c and some use 5.7 but with the quality of P226, glocks are rarely used and USPs virtually non-existant within the regiment.

So why the p226? and i wouldn't really expect the usps. Hps were used a lot in the '80s-'90s and i really do think that the mp5 is much better than the g36 (i dislike g36s very much) Link to post Share on other sites
Diemaco Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The men in black use 20 round mags for the SIG. SIG have developed a new BG handgun The SAS may use it, it is called the P229 SAS which fires the 40 S&W round, it has anti snag sights and all that stuff. find it here.

BigAl Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 So what makes you think the P229 SAS has anything to do with the regiment then? The British Special forces do not tend to have weapons developed for them they tend to use existing tried and tested designs like the Hi Power or the P226. Link to post Share on other sites
