My father still has his "K-Bar" displayed in his room, and said it was the 3rd most desired thing when he was in Nam.  1st was "ice"; 2nd was females; and 3rd his K-Bar.

You know the answers are making me laugh lol. Jesus man. Where these people are heading to. Dream on. Next thing is that we see Afghanistan on the best Special forces. Kazakhstan .. Venezuela hahahahahah\n\nI would go with either the SAS, based on the Iranian embassy hostage rescue, or the Israeli special forces, based on the Entebbe raid.\n\nThis is a very tough question to ask however It depends on context.. \nFor damage/ability-to-man ratio, I'd go with the SBS definitely. \nThe only problem is that they are around 350 in numbers, and as such, don't have that large a capability (though, all 350 are very rarely needed/deployed) in terms of number of active operational theaters. \nFor overall ability/whatever you want to measure it by, I'd definitely throw it to the Spetsnaz, if some of the things I've read about their training is true, they are damn good. They also are probably the largest, at 10,000+ men.

Camillus of Elmira, N.Y. makes a K-bar style fighting knife. It has better steel than the K-bar, a much superior knife. It out performs the K-bar hands down and cost less. I am not just talking, I carried one through Viet-Nam.\nWas unable to find the web-site that you were on. I went to http://www.budk.com and they have the knife I described for $36.99. The stock number is #CAM-5684. This company used to sell only cheap knives, but the last year or two have been carrying quality stuff.\nI still have my Camillus knife almost 40 years later, and will not give it up for anything.\n Good luck and God speed.

Personally, I prefer the TA01 ACOG 4x32 riflescope w/Full Line Red Illumination. It is set up for a max range of 800 meters (that specific range may be familiar to M16/CAR15 owners/users) with crosshairs from 100-600 meters and elipses for the 700 & 800 meter ranges. \n\nI bought mine from http://scopesnmore.com/ but the price may be a bit steep for some people. I used mine in a combat environment (and will take it with me when I go back) though, so it paid for itself the first time I had to use it. I am alive, they are not.\n\nIt is excellent for low-light operations, is waterproof to depths greater than 500 ft, is built of forged aircraft aluminum, the same material as the upper and lower receivers as the M16/CAR15, and has withstood extreme exposure to heat, sand, dust, shock, humidity, weapon racks, fellow soldiers, and such. It can be attached to multiple rail assemblies, but was specifically designed to fit onto the M16/CAR15 handle/site. I like the fact that I can still use my iron sights as well as the scope.\n\nThe scope was nearly 'dead-on' target even after traveling through the US postal service! I used a pen-style laser to bore sight the scope and made only minute adjustments when I was out on the range verifying my sights. Speaking of which: the adjustments are internal, so when they are set, it would take a HUGE amount of damage to screw up your sights! This scope is designed to take a 5 ft drop (or a tumble from the back of a 5-Ton) directly onto pavement! Check out Trijicon for full details if you want.\n\nPersonal experiences: 1) on the close-quarters combat course, the reflex sight proved second to none for speed, accuracy, and ease of acquiring the target for double-tapping and allowed me to maintain awareness of everything else around me. 2) our convoy came under fire at night just outside of Baghdad, had 2 officers with powered scopes beside me, trying to locate the enemy. I used my rifle and pinpointed the enemy fire as well as the non-hostiles between us and them. The officers couldn't make out either with their sooped-up battery-powered hunting scopes, until they borrowed my rifle and tritium-powered scope and saw what I was seeing! They called in for air support since the enemy was outside of our small arms range and copied the NSN of my scope (1240-01-412-6608 stamped on the side) down so they could requisition their own scopes!\n\nI did also buy the honeycombed Model TA57 Killflash Anti-Reflect Screen, (so as to not give away my position or tell other people I was using a scope. It works amazingly well, and is easily removed when not needed) and the Scopecoat protective cover from Devtron (this is a neoprene covering to protect the scope and reduce the dirt, grime, sand, shock, etc...associated with combat use. They make covers for all kinds of scopes!)\n\nHope my 2 cents helps you, and if you are going into a combat environment, watch your 6 and remember - don't die for your country - make the bastards die for theirs!

If you want to go for something unique go with a tessen. They are small iron fans used by samurai's and are very effective to disarm and knock people out. Below is a site that has some info on them.

AK47 all the way.\n\nHundreds of thousands of hardened nutters in crackpot regimes, terrorist organisations and Russia can't be wrong.\n\nBesides, they will work in any conditions no problem.  The M4 is less reliable.

I would bring my husbands friend, Mark. He just got back from Iraq as an infantryman, his survival skills are the best. I would bring a box of waterproof matches, a waterproof poncho that could be used as a tent,, the book "The Way Things Work", a handgun and either a Leatherman or Swiss Army knife.

Steel... kevlar and ceramics are good for body armor, but when was the last time you've heard of small arms fire penetrating a tank.
