And it's on Wikipedia so, yeah. It's not fake.

Just because it's on Wikipedia, does not make it true. Because it's on Wikipedia means that you should check everything about it thouroghly.

I know. I just agree with the sourced things they say there in Wikipedia. That's why i checked the origin of the Image.

I used to edit things on Wikipedia and trust me when I say that the site is not to be trusted although there are some small parts that are good.

I know that the GAU-19/A and the Ciener Ultimate pages are good as to right now as I built and watch the pages. Unfortunatly people can really screw with things as what happened recently on Wikipedia's Armsel Striker page.

Even if training, they'd still be using real weapons, not MGC replicas.

Most gun pages on Wikipedia suck. However, Most history, politics, movies, television and books pages are really good.

Could it be from the tv series "Seven Days"? The guy kind of looks like the actor that starred in it, an I think that his character was suppose to be an ex-Seal.

No I've seen that photo for years. It was featured in a color book on America's Elite forces that I bought at a Gun show back in the 1980s (but have since lost). The Man is apparently a real SEAL (they listed his name and his actual rank within the Navy) but the Navy never trained with Japanese Toy Replicas. Why would they train with toys? It was a PHOTO OP, so if they're doing a photo op, wouldn't they break out the real Deal? This has always mystified me. And amazingly WIKIPEDIA never caught it nor have they EVER explained it. but IMFDB did!

We should probably note this on The Rock page then, huh?

hahahah Well you're RIGHT then. If we list the 'commando' or XM177 as Hummel's gun, in the photo where they put Hummel's face on the man's head, then the gun is really an MGC CAR-15.....

I just want to know (from the Navy one of these days) if this is a real pic and why a REAL SEAL is carrying a replica toy gun?
