    "I know members of SOG carried some kind of suppressed .22 pistol to deal with dogs etc as well."

    @hamish9701 Around a Hunting Camp fire the Colonel told how the early SEALs & MACV-SOG "Spike Teams " used 22 rifles they had modded by accurising,shortening the barrels & suppressing & scoped with a 2X with a German style post & rail reticle .

    They used these to Snatch VC "Tax Collectors" who were valued for gathering intelligence to a very high level & sometimes used as double agents .These scumbags were always protected & escorted by well trained NVC ,so as the Colonel explained they would set up a Snatch'em ambush site along a heavy jungle cover ,narrow trail section ,the Tax Collector would normally be placed near the middle of a column of usually 6-8 NVC escorting him on his tax collecting rounds .

    The SEALs would mate 4-6 Claymore mines rigged at hip height in the jungle cover, spaced closely together ,they then waited for the column of NVC to enter the kill zone ,the 22 was used by placing the post reticle on the Tax Collectors leg bone, below the knee & shooting him in the knee cap .With no noise it looked like he had fallen after twisting his knee & as he hit the ground the waist high Claymores were set off wiping out the NVC. The NVC guards would be annihilated, with as described by those who used the tactic, the Tax collector looked like a bucket of spaghetti had been dumped on him, he was then safely snatched up & was usually that shocked by being covered in bits of his former guards they would be scared silent ,until they loaded him on a Seawolf chopper to take back to the CIA guys for interrogation. They used what they called the Snatch'em Ambush for years & it was copied by other SF groups around the world.

    They always said pigs & Roosters were the worst sentry animals they had to deal with ,as the dogs were always starving & poorly treated, a bit of food thrown to them would see them soon turn sides & wag their tails as they creeped past them , they always said they would have been able to supply a fast food chain with the amount of them they used the Hush Puppy's on .

    If you can ,would you post a link to that show on the Stoner 63 as l have never seen a show featuring them ,l do not get on the computer much apart from on sourcing gear for the farm,here & catching up with our girls who live overseas.Thanks
