Daewoo DP-51 9mm: It has a triple action trigger/hammer that allows each squeeze to go from 7 pounds of pressure down to 1 pound. This means that other than traditional double or single action fire modes it has “fast action” mode.
The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the USSR by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova. It is also known as Kalashnikov, AK, or in Russian slang, Kalash.
Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945). After the war in 1946, the AK-46 was presented for official military trials. In 1948 the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service with selected units of the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS (S—Skladnoy or “folding"), which was equipped with an underfolding metal shoulder stock. In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact.
The original AK-47 was one of the first assault rifles of 2nd generation, after the German StG 44 Even after six decades the model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world because of their durability, low production cost, availability, and ease of use. It has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide. The AK-47 was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. More AK-type rifles have been produced than all other assault rifles combined.

The 9x19mm Parabellum (abbreviated 9mm, 9x19mm or 9x19) cartridge was designed by Georg Luger and introduced in 1902 by the German weapons manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) for their Luger semi-automatic pistol. For this reason, it is commonly called the 9 mm Luger cartridge, differentiating it from the also-popular 9mm Makarov and 9mm Browning (.380 ACP) cartridges.
The book Cartridges of the World stated in 2006 that the 9x19mm Parabellum is “the world’s most popular and widely used military handgun cartridge.”
The name Parabellum is derived from the Latin: Si vis pacem, para bellum ("If you seek peace, prepare for war"), which was the motto of DWM.
Actually, it existed in various forms far back in history before Georg Luger & DWM. Si vis pacem, para bellum is a Latin adage translated as, “If you wish for peace, prepare for war” (usually interpreted as meaning peace through strength-a strong society being less likely to be attacked by enemies).
The adage is from 4th or 5th century Latin author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus’s tract De Re Militari, book 3.
KA-BAR TDI Knife: In extreme close quarters encounters where a suspect is attempting to take an agent’s handgun, or an agent cannot access his handgun, the TDI knife is available as a “last option” knife. When worn on the pant belt the entire unit - knife and sheath - is well concealed.

AR-15: The Colt AR-15 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, magazine-fed, air cooled, semi-automatic rifle. Colt started selling the semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR-15 for civilian sales in 1963 and the term has been used to refer to semiautomatic-only versions of the rifle since then.
M240 Machine Gun: A family of belt-fed, gas-operated medium machine guns firing the 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. Rate of fire - 750–950 rounds/min, Muzzle velocity - 2,800 ft/s (853 m/s), Effective range - Bipod: 800 m (880 yd), Tripod: 1,800 m (1,980 yd), Maximum range - 4,074 yd (3,725 m).
The Experimental LSAT rifle (Lightweight Small Arms Technologies): Designed for future force warrior using polymer-cased ammunition and caseless ammunition, and using spring-loading magazines and weapon-powered magazines. Optical, involving advanced tracking and acquisition sight. It will do this by first developing lightweight machine guns, and more importantly, lightweight ammo. Called telescoped ammunition, these cased and caseless cartridges do away with the heavy brass case and replace it with a plastic sleeve or nothing at all. They use a solid propellant that is chambered directly into a gun along with a bullet that it is fused to.
By getting rid of traditional cases the ammo is lighter. A lot lighter, about 40 percent the mass of conventional 5.56 NATO linked ammo. It’s also shorter and takes up less volume. A working type of telescoped ammunition will let machine gunners carry more ammo and save weight.
M40: In U.S. military service it is known as the M3 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System (MAAWS) or Ranger Antitank Weapons System (RAWS), but is often called the Gustav or the Goose or simply the Carl Johnson by U.S. soldiers.
Limpet Mine: A limpet mine is a type of naval mine attached to a target by magnets. It is so named because of its superficial similarity to the limpet, a type of sea snail that clings tightly to rocks or other hard surfaces.
A swimmer or diver may attach the mine, which is usually designed with hollow compartments to give the mine only a slight negative buoyancy, making it easier to handle underwater.
Usually limpet mines are set off by a time fuze. They may also have an anti-handling device, making the mine explode if removed from the hull by enemy divers or by explosions. Sometimes the limpet mine was fitted with a small propeller which would detonate the mine after the ship had sailed a certain distance, so that it was likely to sink in navigable channels or deep water out of reach of easy salvage and making it harder to determine the cause of the sinking.
Safety fuse: Consists of a black powder core in a textile tube, covered with asphaltum or other waterproofing agent, and having an outer wrapper of tough textile or plastic. Once ignited, safety fuses will burn underwater, and have no external flame that might ignite other fuels. The safety fuse burns at a rate of typically about 30 seconds per foot (1 second per cm).
Handcuff restraint designed for high risk prisoner and transport situations and does not operate with a standard handcuff key. Incorporates a high security lock system with deadbolt protection against brute force and finessed picking and shimming attacks.
