POTD: Norwegian Special Operation Commando During Exercise Oslofjord 2019
Photo Of The Day – We take a detailed look at a group of Operators from Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK) / Norwegian Special Operation Commando.
The Norwegian Special Operations Forces are using the Colt C8 SFW and Colt C8 CQB rifles, and not the regular-issue Heckler & Koch 416.
By the looks of it, the soldier has no less than three full magazines to the FN Minimi with him.
Full attack!

that sixth pic down with four guys through bottleneck glass doors all at same time is always worrisome. it's usually inevitable at some point and i see the brass empties in the air, but those situations are where the good guys get killed. a disciplined and determined opponent will seriously injure or kill all four. not knocking these guys skills, because it happens but it is a failure point.
Guess its easy to have an exercise in the airport when noone's using it.
