Special Ops Mission on History Channel

Has anybody watched the show Special Ops on the History Channel its pretty cool . Alot of tactics used , one guy goes against three or 4 guys in different missions, he has a gun mounted camera . Check it out. I would think you could get it online at their web site too. Its paintball on real brass.

Yeah we've discussed it before. He uses Simunition and it's only available to law enforcement and military. Also it's not very accurate and very expensive. Still a great show to watch!

I did a search before I posted for it but nothing came up, my bad

all good dude, no one is going to jump all over you just because you post about a discussion twice. It really is a good show I think. I've only seen a handful of episodes though. Some of those places would be amazing for airsoft!

Yeah he's also airforce para rescue "America's finest"

It's a great show! Just like NJSC said, its very expensive to train with that equipment and so law enforcement has gone to airsoft to train!

He was ending his time as a PJ when he started doing the show. Why would he be a PJ then join the Rangers then go back to the PJs

no you are misunderstanding me... he became a PJ but when you become a PJ you have to complete Ranger School along with Army airborne school and other schools.. he didnt just goto it and go back to PJ... do you see where im coming from now?

Every unit in existence, EVERY UNIT IN EXISTENCE, calls themselves America's Finest. Please....you know what I can't say that on the forum because its just against the rules, but seriously

ParaRescue is cool, SF is cool, Force Recon is cool, SEALs are cool, end of story, all of them are "America's Finest" or whatever.
