"Weapons like the Colt M4 carbine (issued to security forces, Seabees, and Navy special operations) are particularly effective in close-quarters and boarding operations. Another of the Navy's sidearms is the Beretta M9 . This semi-automatic pistol's range and large ammunition capacity make it an effective weapon. The Accuracy International Mk 13, a bolt-action sniper rifle that can shoot more than half a mile, is critical for special operations teams like the US Navy SEALS."
