Realism question about us units and non-us arms

[Aculaud]

Are there any US special, or even conventional, forces that use non-US equipment, such as the G36? I'm trying to get away with giving one of my special forces guys a G36 in a mission i'm making...

[RalphWiggum]

c'mon aculaud, you know making missions don't need to be so picky!

[Aculaud]

Yup, BIS made a mistake. They didnt anticipate perfectionists like myself

[Major Fubar]

I'm with you Aculaud, I like realism as much as possible in misions, including gear and equipment.

Green Beanies are trained in all sorts of firearm types, and their main armory contains pretty much every weapon type ever made. I doubt they would be using them in ops tho, more as a way to be able to better train UC warfare units in a liaison role

[Aculaud]

Well, i read on the modern firearms site that the G36 is imported to America for police use, so i suppose it could be used by certain special forces as well...

[Tex [USMC]]

Say they are on a mission in enemy territory, got cut off from supplies, and were given G36's by friendly partisans with foreign connections

[Aculaud]

Fraid not. They're being deployed straight from a base. Already pretty far into making this one too

i know that french sf use almost anything that can be found on open market

[Aculaud]

Ok, new question. Would it be realistic that a single operative achieve a level of merit where he/she would have more of a choice about kit load-out? And if so, would they be able to choose from whatever they wanted, provided it was available?
