Hmmmmm, that Coast Guardsman in the photo has a brass-catcher attached to that (European) assault rifle. Now, isn't that interesting......
Low-profile bump.

That rifle is not European one. It's japan's home manufactured rifle called "Type 89 Assault rifle".

Nice pickup on the "brass catcher"! I had missed that.

I wouldn't put covert stuff past them (good for them if they're kicking butt) but when you're operating on a ship brass is a huge trip and slip hazard. The last thing you want to do is be looking at your feet and the deck when you should be looking for targets.
