that soldier is packing a Us Army issued Colt manufactured M4A1 with a HK USA made M320 40 mm Enhanced Grenade launcher module.
He Also Caught in both posts three different camouflage patterns inducing The ACU UCP ( used in one of the few environments where it is too some degree effective High Snow covered mountains) , ACU OCP ( Multicam officially adopted as Operation enduring Freedom Camouflage) and a pixilated desert pattern that although close is definitely not NWU nor marpat it's not quite Cadpat. It can though you for a loop huh where is he from? Well His uniform is American. He's wearing a "BLACKHAWK!® High Performance Fighting Uniform" It's a Commercial product adopted unofficially by Navy Spec War.
And finally in comment of Pop's Photos I simply Quote... "MY GOD RAPTORS!"

I know that Nem, My goal is too add a little bit more detail on some gear or particular artifact in the photo that is new, different or unique. The M320 was not on my expected list I was thinking the the first field pics would start in June. and Seals like all Spec ops tend too be Camera Shy save for the occasional photo op.
