The rifle is the target sighted AR 15. The usual scope was the radioactive trilux good for day or night but this one shows the Colt x 4 power type scope. We carried the AR15 or M16 depending on what situation you were going into (the 15 being semi the 16 being full auto. The Remington X Combat target rifle with high power scope. A revolver and back up 9mm. Serling SMG. Assorted shotgun and unusual ammo variations and about 3 different knives (in case we had steak for dinner) We had unmarked vehicles, always changed out of sight and remained so until the situation was neutralised and melted away after which was why no one (press) really knew what happened when the incident finished.
