Weird. They are obviously military, but they weapons have A1 uppers with what appear to be M4 barrels. They also appear to be carrying M9s as sidearms. Any guesses on who these guys are?

Yes, I left the captions off so ya'll could try and guess a little. Here ya go. -David Pic # 1: OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM (AFIE) -- A pararescueman from the 66th Rescue Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., awaits an orbiting helicopter during extraction training at a forward-deployed location supporting Operation Enduring Freedom on April 12. The 66th ERQS primary mission is combat search and rescue. They have been credited with 20 rescues to date in support of OEF. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.

The USAF especially still employs these weapons which can be very old. The USAF designation for the XM-177 is the GAU-5 and i think these are the GAU-5s which have had their barrels changed to the 14.5" M4 barrel. |

Quoted: What is that spring looking thing in front of the M203 trigger? It is the safety for the M203 launcher. Because it directly blocks the trigger you can tell quite readily by touch that the safety is on, even with thick gloves on. A no brainer design. |
