Ha ha... yeah... to Dano's point... there are definitely some Match Homo rail/hand guards on some of those guns. They don't belong there for sure.
But the "game changer" bit is puzzling. I don't think SureFires cans make THAT much difference. I bet it's more of a combination of the limited set ups that the guy ran.
I've moved my same can from gun to gun and got more gassed out on some guns than others. There's more to it than this can is gassy and that one isn't. There's simply only so much gas you can reduce with any baffle stack and still make the can small enough to be functional.
My bet is the guy just got a nicer combo of parts and credited SureFire for the success.

Is it possible that some of those setups belong to ex-SOF guys, now contractors?
The author is talking about rifles in a war zone, modified by guys who spend far more time studying how to win battles than what is the best free float tube for the AR. We at home, have the the luxury of spending hours online to find just the right part and complain when it takes more than three or four days for the Man in the Brown Shorts to bring it to our door. Delivery service isn't as reliable in theater, accessories and parts aren't always available through approved channels, commanders often limit what can be used and on top of that, they also have to deal with ITAR.
It could be that the Surefire is a game changer, not because it's best choice, but it's good enough choice or finally available in enough quantities, that the advantages of using a short rifle are suddenly attractive. Some look at the rifles pictured in the article and see clown shoes. If authentic, and I have no reason to believe they are not, what we are really seeing the current American warfighter continuing the long held tradition of using worn out, less than ideal equipment to get the job done

Reliability is by far the most aspect of a firearm.
If it works, there is little difference overall in what accessories you use.

Ya i mean what are these HSLD guys doing not listening to all the freedom forum fighters and mall ninjas here on the internet forums. What are they thinking? I can't believe they are using gear that we civilians don't believe are the best option for them. What a bunch of idiots...
