Turkish Special Operations Forces

[otriz]

The USAS are used by PÖH teams of Diyarbakır, still in service but not so common. The Police is using mostly sarsılmaz made Baba/Cobra series shotguns, they are not commonly used by the way, mainly anti-riot role with plastic shells..

The other ones are bought in less numbers just for testing. It's a pretty common think. Done by most of the well known special units. Not only these types of rifles. Even the SIG 540 series rifles used by PÖH teams of Istanbul for testing few years ago..

BTW it's Steyr AUG HBAR squad support ifle model of the rifle series with longer and heavier barrel and bipod. On the F2000 you can see the fixed stock of the Sten Mark V smg. Also next to the model the American AN/PVS-4 passive night vision scope just made after Vietman War. Some really f*king oldscool stuff is here

Well,the unit itself is oldschool Thanks for the information,it's good to have you here.

lastly the smg under the USAS is 9x19mm Calico M960. Its one of the futuristic designs of the 90s with the cylindrical helical-feed magazine (100 rounds) and fully polymer body. I know the usage of these smgs just limited in US law-enforcement and intelligence agencies. But It seems more than that...

Please guys share details of Guns of all types under use in Turkish Armed Forces

Also seems that SAT procured opscore in limited numbers.(It may be a cheap knockoff like the black model earlier.)

 

[-DENO-]

^^It's non-ballistic Base Jump model. Also they bought some Ops-core maritime models with MultiCam camo same as the Army's SOF but these were only for test only...

Also for the M4A1, SAT have only a few of them modified with all of the Magpul rifle accessories, PTS stocks, MOE pistol Grips, Laure front grips, KAC rail covers and sights and Aimpoint T1 red dots. Sames as the ops core helmets...
