A little off topic but a few years ago I saw an article in Soldier of Fortune about a Special Forces Humvee patrol in Afghanistan. The vehicles were loaded down with the usual weapons, M4s, M2 .50s and the like but what I found interesting was what was clipped to the dash. The vehicles all seemed to have Sterling L2A3s as, presumably, PDWs or something easy for the drivers to reach. The reason for my curiosity is that I thought the MP-5 was the de facto SMG of American Special Operations Forces. Anyone have any idea what the story could have been? --[[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 16:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC) | A little off topic but a few years ago I saw an article in Soldier of Fortune about a Special Forces Humvee patrol in Afghanistan.

::Well I'm not speaking from experience, but I do know that SFs have a wide latitude as to what weapons they can carry. I know that the Sterlings are REALLY slim and their slender body lines are great for stowing away on vehicles. For a backup, I'd carry one, and I can't see how an MP5 could be comfortably clipped to ANY dashboard... ;) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 17:08, 5 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

U.S. Special Forces
A little off topic but a few years ago I saw an article in Soldier of Fortune about a Special Forces Humvee patrol in Afghanistan. The vehicles were loaded down with the usual weapons, M4s, M2 .50s and the like but what I found interesting was what was clipped to the dash. The vehicles all seemed to have Sterling L2A3s as, presumably, PDWs or something easy for the drivers to reach. The reason for my curiosity is that I thought the MP-5 was the de facto SMG of American Special Operations Forces. Anyone have any idea what the story could have been? --Charon68 16:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
