Also, the Para has a 36/30 inch length(stock extended/collapsed), and is only 14lb (still quite heavy, I grant). Shorter than every wepaon on the list above. And you have two in each Section (well, we do at least), they work fine in CQB.
I really can see the justification in taking one of those Automatic rifles instead of a normal Assault Rifle?sigpic

Haven't been in here in awhile...
From what I've read the M27 IAR isn't replacing the SAW, just supplementing them. Although something like this magazine (SAW Mag http://www.armatac.com/products.html) would help in providing that volume of fire. I believe the M27 with one of these magazines would weigh somewhere near the weight of an unloaded SAW.
Have any of you guys been watching SGU. Started watching the 1st and noticed that Lt. James (the one with the huge knockers) said she was special forces. Found it kinda odd considering that U.S. military does not allow women to serve in combat MOS's (infantry, artillery, etc..).

Yup, I agree. Me and my dad (ex Marine) also wondered how she'd made SFs

I'd expect it to be a bit more defined considering the special forces training she went through and the daily exercise regiment to maintain that level of fitness. I'd also assume she would be a bit more mentally stable... unless all that stuff was occurring because of "Aunt Flo."
The USAF does have a special forces component component called AFSOC (Air Force Special Operations Command http://www2.afsoc.af.mil/library/fac...t.asp?id=13745). They don't perform the same exact job as Delta or Green Berets but are still a part of SOCOM are still considered special forces...
As far as the actress not meeting our perceptions of a special operations soldiers, well seeing as most soldiers and cops in fictional media are also special operations veterans but also don't meet the physique demands of the audience. That said Special Forces soldiers that I ran into were more likely to look like a middle distance runner than a body building John Rambo.
