I'm now 100 pages into "No Easy Day". At one point, he describes his loadout: Apparently, he had two HK416s, one with a 10-inch barrel, the other with a 14-inch barrel (though the D10RS was the one he used most of the time). If y'all plan to swing by Barnes & Noble to glance at the book, the description of his weaponry is on pages 44-45.

I agree, though I'm not sure it's going to reveal as much about DEVGRU/JSOC protocol, tactics or equipment as DoD seems to believe. From what I've heard (i.e.
in this article), he doesn't even mention that the Black Hawks used in the raid were stealthy. (And obviously, the very existence of those choppers was the single biggest secret to be unintentionally de-classified by the Abbottabad raid.)
