I never said anything about the DD rail.

And they use the basejump or carbon because its a very lightweight mounting platform for NOD. Wearing a ballastic helmet of any sort is uncomfortable for long periods and armor in general is extremely limited, its why most guys in the field now don't use much armor unless they are in an urban environment where it makes sense.

As for the M320, its a better platform, lighter weight, more maneuverable, and an overall improvement from the 203.

As for the weapon accessories, you don't HAVE to use Block II, I prefer an aimpoint over an Eotech, as do many I work with and around. Just like I would use a PEQ 2 in most cases before a PEQ 15 because the 2s bleed out when they are dying unlike the 15s that just die, and the 2s are far more rugged. As for the Spectre, it doesntvreally hold a zero well, that's why they've had to revise them, so an ACOG would do some better.

Keep in mind just because you, as the public, dont see it in a picture doesn't mean they aren't utilizing certain equipment.
