I saw their article on Assault Rifles of the Navy SEALs and they list the M-4 A1 and the M-16 A4. Other, more complete, lists contain the many variants the SEALs use. My problem is not with eHow’s brief article. It is with the picture they post. Of the AK-47:
- eHow: Assault Rifles of the Navy SEALs
Without doubt, SEALs have used these in-country. But the article does not discuss the foreign AK. And the eHow site comes across as uninformed. . .
Nor do they list the SR-25, M-40A3-5 nor a number of other ‘specialized’ weapons…
I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you… shocked! lol
Did you ever see that ad in the back of some magazines a few years ago about the Navy SEAL watch? the ad claimed the watch was used by the SEALS.
When I had a real SEAL working with one of my teams in |||||||| I asked him about that watch. He told me he’d never seen one.
Then I ran into a salesmen for that watch company. He was telling me how great the watchs was…then I asked: “Isin’t that the watch you guys claimed the SEALS used? Well, I asked one and he said he never saw one.”
The salesmen was at a loss for words.
I think alot of companies try to sell things claiming some special forces group uses their products…when they never did.
eHow is a content farm, providing low quality articles that could be written by monkeys banging on typewriters to sell advertising.

My guess is that the particular group of monkeys that banged out that article doesn’t know the difference between bananas and banana clips.
