The US, French, UK, Canadian, etc. with their high profile, Delta, SEAL, SAS, Foreign Legion all never take part in anti-piracy and are happy to pay the ransom demanded by the pirates, at least we take care of our ships and also our rakyat on board these cargo vessels. Western countries all talk and no action or No Action Talk Only (NATO).

Delta doesn't really operate on water. That's SEAL territory and the SEAL did mount a viable rescue before.

SAS doesn't deal with water either, they're mostly airborne. SBS or the Special Boat Service deals with water ops.

Foreign Legion is a ground combat unit, not a CT force. The French recently did free a captured yatch held by Somali pirates.

never saw them side by side...they are almost the same but slight difference so that it wont work on enemy weapons

russian ammo captured by USA can not be used on a m16 ,and NATO ammo can not be used on russian weapons..its just so the enemy cant use your ammo against you..but if it was a fight like indonesia vs malaysia it wont make difference because we use the same type of ammo

Not slightly different. Extremely different actually.

The 7.62mm R is rimmed, the 7.62mm NATO isn't (plus it's actually slightly bigger than 7.62), Also the 7.62x39 is also far shorter and has less capacity.

SAAMI pressures are different and the Russian rounds are lower pressured due to older design and Russian preference for cheap lacquered steel cases.

The 7.62x51mm NATO in good loadings is capable of serious 0.3 MOA accuracy. The Russian ammo is lucky to hit the side of barn at 20 yards laugh.gif
