Description
As the spearhead of the Army's special operations forces, the Rangers are involved in the most dangerous and dirty business imaginable. They often engage in close-quarters fights and they require weapons and equipment that are durable yet allow them to travel light, be quick on their feet, and move with the utmost stealth. In superb photography shot by a Ranger veteran, here are the weapons that help make the Rangers one of the Army's premiere fighting units. The weaponry and equipment includes: M4s, M16s, M240B machine guns, mortars of every caliber, grenade launchers, stun and flash grenades, Kevlar body armor, night vision equipment, and more.
