I have seen couple pictures posted on here about the contractors over there in Iraq. Are they part of military or they are something like body guard? Please dont flame, I'm just curious about it. Are they use FA weapons too or just Semi auto? any respond would be appreciated. |
Contractors do different things like guarding sites, providing personal security basically anything the military offers a contract for. Contractors are not a part of military but are alot of ex-military now gone to private contracting either working for a firm or running their own.

I had a chance to run with several companies while over there last year. Almost all of the U.S. based contractors are approved by the DOD or DOJ and can get access to military issue weapons. Most I encountered were using M4's, SAW's and 240B machine guns. Long story short, some have their own weapons which is allowed and some use military weapons. |
