Green Berets and foreign weapons… Like kids in a candy store

Steve Balestrieri | September 14, 2020

One of the perks of having a career in Special Operations units was the chance to be trained up and get to fire all manner of foreign, rare, and sometimes very old weapons that you will find still in use.

Special Forces weapons sergeants will be trained in a multitude of U.S. and foreign weapons, and know how to effectively put them to use if they are come across during a foreign deployment.

There is no shortage of weapons that you will come across in many of the Third World countries and some are amazing that they are still in use. And many of them shouldn’t be.

Green Berets and foreign weapons… Like kids in a candy store

Guilty!

Hey,a guy has to have SOME fun at work!

I admit to possessing a WW-2 45 ACP "grease gun" with a silencer on it to use if we got tasked with a prisoner snatch operation in Laos or Cambodia.

Part of the reason I chose that over the 9mm Swedish K and Sten Guns most other guys chose was because it was just SOOOO freaking cool as well as being historical,but the other part was practical. The guys with the 9mm squirt guns had to shoot sub-sonic ammo in them to keep from burning up the silencers,and unless you modified the action spring,this mean you turned your squirt gun into a single shot weapon.

The grease gun had no trouble firing full-power 45 ACP loads because they were sub-sonic to begin with.
