To be honest, he looks like he's a UAE operator, United Arab Emirates. But I know better, there was a special pattern made for Army SF based off AOR 1. :3

So that's how they make their money! They open flower shops across the world, because who would ever suspect a flower shop to fund terrorist activities!

For the most part, I'm just joking around, but now that I think about it, that would make quite a bit of sense...

I think I might write something with that.

Keep up the good work, amigo.

That "flower shop" would probably earn them several million dollars each month, if they can processed it into cocaine :)

sorry to ask, but is this a M16 A4 or a HK 416? I've heard that some U.S. Forces are using the HK, but I'm really not sure.

It looks like a M16 A4 to me, look at the front sight HK 416 comes with a flipping sight instead of that triangular one. But it feels strange to see a US Army soldier with USMC camo and weaponry ^^.

Actually, as former Soldier in the German Army, I'm quite confused about the U.S. Military's Uniforms. In Germany we have only two different uniform patters: flecktarn (green, for woods) and tropen/wuestentarn (for the desert). And we all use the same weapons, it really didn't count if you are a Fallschirmjaeger (airborne ranger) or in the air force.

this is an M4A1 (in IL we nickname it Flat-top or in short Flatop)

That's what I was thinking due to the stock and the barrel shape. But the barrel length seems also a bit too long for a carabine. This picture is a mystery. And this uniforms is different from MARPAT obviously it is made to go to mars ^^ too orange. @WolfPiet : France does it too. Only few countries have enough money to look as fancy as US does.
