My name is Patrick and i would like to ask some questions about the Assault Rifle`s used inside this picture.
Wich AR-15 Rifles are those in particular? Are those special made Railway Systems for those rifles? What slings were used within this picture and what types of Optics were used? On the left side you can see an AR i would like to know if this is an Designated Defensive Marksman Rifle or the particular Optic for performing such a type of assignment. They seem to me be made specifically made for this assignment of High Threat Executive Protection with the usage of conducting Close Quarter Battle Techniques during an exchange of Fire. This is my first Post on AR15.com so i am a little bit proud and thrilled about the answer`s to come.My wish is to become Trauma Surgeon and an Armorer with the AR-15 Rifle Platform. |

Looks like older CQBR variant M4's. Colts with 10.3" barrels, KAC rail, and what looks like a PRI front fold down sight/gas block. The optics are some model of Aimpoint red dots.

The mount and rear sight look like ARMS. At least two of the muzzle devices look like Surefire comps.
How old is this photo? I'd guess these are DD uppers and possibly DD FF M4 rails if not KAC and KAC FF RAS. Looks like some circa SPR Mod 1 era stuff on 10" guns. I'd say those are pre 2010 guns. Rail covers KAC for sure, vertical grip ARMS, probably. |

Not sure why they're opting for a rifle. I would think a sub gun/PDW would be a better choice for urban protection duty. |

| I seem to recall a thread from a few years ago that discussed the development of those waffle stocks and if I remember right those stocks didn't come out until 2003-2004 sometime. I may be misrembering though. It is fascinating to me how much AR rifles have changed in such a short period of time. When that photo was taken those rifles were cutting edge with all the cool parts on them. Now they look dated and retro. |
