Today my department participated in a large training scenario hosted by DHS in several locations around the Denver metro area. There were several SWAT teams from across the front range. Most teams carried the AR platform of some type or another. I saw a few Commandos and mostly M4's.
While on break, a Denver S.O. team member walked by and I asked to see his rifle. He and his team were all carrying M16's. A1 flash hiders, tri-angle handguards and no forward assists. They looked great - almost new in fact. The bolts looked like they were chrome plated. The deputy told me the S.O. got them on loan from the government recently. Despite the 20" barrel, he said they've been really happy with them, and said they all shot great. In a sea of MP5's, M4's and whatnot today, it was pretty cool seeing these old guns being carried and still protecting the community.
