  SEAL Recon Rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Built in house by SEAL Team armorers, and later by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (often referred to as NSWC-Crane or just Crane), these rifles were developed to provide SEAL snipers with a portable, lightweight system that had greater lethality over a standard M4-type AR-15/M16 pattern carbine.
The SEAL teams were apparently disappointed with the performance of the resulting Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR), and have apparently now convinced the managers at Crane to return to center as it were.
The range of optics used on Recon rifles is wide, with various models by Trijicon (like ACOG TA01, TA31F), Leupold (TS-30A1, TS-30A2), and NightForce in use.

 Navy UDT-SEAL Museum :|: History
Many SEAL members came from the Navy's UDT units, who had already gained experience in commando warfare in Korea; however, the UDTs were still necessary to the Navy's amphibious force.
The men of the newly formed SEAL Teams were educated in such unconventional areas as hand-to-hand combat, high altitude parachuting, safecracking, demolitions and languages.
As the war continued, the SEALs found themselves positioned in the Rung Sat Special Zone where they were to disrupt the enemy supply and troop movements, and into the Mecong Delta to fulfill riverine (fighting on the inland waterways) operations.

 Howstuffworks "How the Navy SEALs Work"
It was reported that a SEAL sniper with an M88.50 caliber sniper rifle spotted a Somali gunman ducking behind a rock wall.
Each SEAL carried 50 pounds of medical supplies and provisions when they parachuted to the lagoon where the boat was anchored.
The SEAL with medical training treated the man's wound, which was a result of a fish hook puncture and had become badly infected.

 Is this the end of Force Recon?
In essence, force recon Marines are the “eyes, ears and fists” beyond the front lines for the larger leatherneck combat force in a broader battlefield.
Force recon grew from the legendary leatherneck amphibious assaults and raids of World War II’s South Pacific island-hopping campaigns, expanded its deep-recon reach during the Cold War and today is the “eyes and ears” of Marine expeditionary force and Marine air-ground task force commanders.
Recon units in the Reserve include scores of highly trained, experienced and combat-proven infantry and reconnaissance men, whose presence could add more muscle to the growing command, several reservists say.

 NAVY SEALS HISTORY From World War 11 to Present Day
SEALs believe that a man driven to the limits of his endurance during Hell Week - no women are allowed in the force -can withstand the rigors and horrors of SEAL combat.
The rocks the SEALs use for training during BUDS and Hell Week were the fl behemoths in front of the Hotel Del. The sharp-edged boulders stood 50 feet high and protruded out some 75 feet from the shore.
SEAL training is tough, and the five-and-a-half day immersion into the life of a SEAL — known as Hell Week — is a short slice into what is arguably the most rigorous training in the world.

This should act as a deterrent and will force seals to blow up the mine or go another way both of which are opportunities for you, since you'll be hiding near by.
If you have a group of seals near you, have a few guys focus on taking out the players, and have another few focus soley on destroying the convoy truck with whatever they may have (i.e.
Seals have taken control of 2 out of 5 control points) Using vehicles greatly increases your chances of securing a control point first, however you're being watched.

 M4 Carbine - FirearmWiki
A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle with a 36 cm barrel, the M4 provides the individual soldier operating in close quarters the capability to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire.
The M4 Carbine achieves over 80% commonality with the M16A2 rifle and was intended to replace M3.45 ACP submachine guns and selected M9 pistols and M16 rifle series (though this plan was though to be changed with the development of the XM29 OICW and the XM8 carbine with most Army units.
Like all the variants of the M16 assault rifle, the M4 Carbine and the M4A1 Carbine can be fitted with many accessories, such as night vision devices, laser pointers, telescopic sights, bipods, the M203 grenade launcher and the XM26 LSS shotgun, and anything else compatible with a MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail.

 Game Over Online Magazine - Ghost Recon: Desert Siege
One of the more interesting motifs from the original Ghost Recon maps, the trickiness and intensity of combat in urban squalor, however, is non-existent.
Ghost Recon was supposed to eliminate the micromanagement and intricate plans of the Rainbow Six franchise.
The AI exhibited by the game continues to be strong and is duly strengthened by timely placement of fixed gun emplacements, trenches, snipers in ideal elevated positions as well as a plethora of reinforced bunkers.

 AR-15 "Recon Carbine"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The "Recon Rifle", or simply "Recce" (rhymes with "Becky"), was conceived by the US Navy SEALs prior to September 11, as a way to give sniper/observer teams additional range, lethality and precision than was afforded by the issue 14.5" M4 carbine.
In the civilian world, the term "Recon Carbine" (which is technically more correct, given that the barrel is shorter than rifle length) has come to mean a multi-purpose or "do-all" weapon with a flat-top upper receiver and 16" free-floated barrel.
My Recon Carbine needed to have the capability for rapid, accurate shooting at close distances as well as reasonable precision out to 300 yards, in a package light and balanced enough to be shot off-hand for long periods of time.

Colt's family came under a new name, the Colt Automatic Rifle-15, or CAR-15, and the increasing sales of rifles to the US military increased hopes that they could be induced to purchase all the other members of the family.
In the end Colt developed two rifles, two Heavy BARreled rifles (or HBARs), a carbine, an ultra-short carbine, and a survival rifle, all under the common name, CAR-15.
However, by the end of the 1960's, the idea of the CAR-15 family would be long gone at Colt, and the name had entered the lexicon for carbine variants of the AR-15/M16 family.

Using a sniper rifle in a map first requires the completion of the sniper school, which in itself has the prerequisite of a marksman rank achieved in rifle training (something similar also applies at becoming a paratrooper).
Unless the game is being played on a LAN (this functionality has been omitted from the initial Recon version but will be added by patch) or with known buddies, proper gaming is going to be hard to come by.

As a SEAL commander (an elite one, if word on the street is to be believed), you have to lead your small team of commandos to take out terrorist targets in Algeria, Brazil, Russia and Albania over the course of 12 missions.
Much like Ghost Recon, SOCOM II's single player is somewhat of a pixel hunt, as you constantly scan the horizon to spot and plug oncoming terrorists before they can do the same to you.
Many of your main weapons (you can carry a rifle and a pistol) have a scope feature, which greatly facilitates taking out baddies from a safe distance.
