I'; not feeling super energetic today, so I wont adding a tonne.
Some of the oddball equipment includes the M1 Garand, the FN FAL the RPK and all sorts of random selections. A common one is the MG-42, for its terrific rate of fire and horrifing sound.
I myself perfer the AK74U to the Mp5.
Then there is a whole set of "sanitized weapons" things we bring back from overseas, buy on the street, or buy under the guise of civilian law enforcement or movie prop use. These are used for politically sensitive operations. Which are most, and tend to the most used weapons in operational service. The non sanitized ones being mainly used in training.
The mandate of the black teams is national counter terrorism, hostage rescue when the capabilities exceed the civilian police tactical teams skills, as well as protecting Citizens overseas and the intrests of the country overseas. That can range from a direct action operation to rescue a citizen held hostage by a terror group in a 3rd party nation, to interfearing with an enemy country's goverment, to just recce on some flair up. (such as the Russia/Georgia war...We learned Russia isnt nearly as incapable as claimed by some)
Most of this is done under the idea of "plausable denyablity" that is. The operators carry nothing to link them to the country, or the countrys armed forces.
Sometimes, a 3rd party, usually poor and un-capable country will request assistance with some sort of situation. The unit can be tasked to these, and often is. Espically during these, they tend to work with aid from other 3rd parties and the host country. (Say working with a Russian SVR Zaslon team, who also provide a ship to stage of of and the local police providing primiters, and things like food and lodging)
well thats enough for now.
