"The Green Berets have built a reputation as masters of unconventional warfare since their inception in the early 1950s. This reputation comes from not only their training and strategy but also from the small arms they carry into the field. Every carbine, pistol, or rifle they carry is carefully selected for versatility and maximum combat effectiveness. These small arms have ultimately become part of the overarching identity of the Green Berets."
"Understanding the weapons and small arms used by today's militaries gives some insight into a nation's combat capabilities, or even tactical doctrines. These guns are not just instruments of warfare, but they actually reflect the technological innovation and defense budgets for a given military over the time. By exploring which rifles, sidearms, machine guns, and support weapons are fielded by various armed forces, we can better understand how nations prepare for conflict, defend their interests, and ultimately shape their battlefield effectiveness."
