...too many nuances....I'm pretty sure it's a hoax  |
Conventional M4's are their tradmark, but they also have some weapons that can't be found anywhere else. THeir unit is large than 5 guys! Estimated size is 2,500. Also, their headquaters is Fort Bragg, so I doubt the 82nd hates them:
The unit is headquartered in a remote section of the U.S. Army’s sprawling Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Info on the weapons:
Delta's unconventional nature also allows its operators to carry highly customized weapons. Although their standard weapon of choice may be the
M4 carbine they also use the SOPDMOD kit on the M4, it is not unusual to find them carrying foreign weapon systems that are often used by the enemy in the Area of Operation (AO). This is to either help them "blend in" with the locals or to use the ammunition from slain enemy fighters.
The vid is probably accurate.
