hey guys...the other day i posted a question regardeing SOF operators and their weapons. I got some good answers, and kept diggin around.....this is what i came up with....

This makes it sound like you could, under certain circumstances (say the weapon was being decomissioned (the wepon family, like if they decide to replace all the M-16s/M-4s in the military with, say a 416, not just the individual weapon) actually buy weapons, and for that matter maybe some other basic gear from the military. I know its not an every day occurence, in fact im sure rare, but if a family of weapons is being decomissioned, what use could the military have for them any more....dont they get destroyed or sold off to other countries(not sure if my facts are right on that....)? i cant see much harm in an operator buying it off the military if they so choose to do so...i mean, they are more qualified than ANYONE to hand said weapon, right?
Any info on the subject or thoughts on the posted link are much appreciated, as always.
