I doubt it - the rifles would be too big. I heard that the teams dropped onto the roof of the building and then went room to room.

Our friends over at Soldier Systems Daily got some gouge on good authority that terror mastermind Osama bin Laden was killed with a novel new weapon that’s only been talked about in the shadows of special ops and the advanced carbine world.

“A very good source” tells SSD that the double tap to UBL’s grey matter came from a Colt CM901 carbine chambered in 7.62.

HK416 in 5.56

Surely wasn't a HK 416, the military dumped that long time ago in the SCAR program because it had bolt carrier problems, that's why they opted for the FN SCAR.

Anyways I just told you what it was.

Yup, I see that and can't figure out what they would be doing, if they did in fact, messing with a POS HK 416 when the FN SCAR beats the hell out of it.

The word I got from an aquaintance with navy ties, said the first head wound was self inflicted!!??!! I wonder if we will ever know what really happened. I always thought if they caught him, if he just "disappeared" it would have been more effective tactically, but I guess politicians want to claim credit for real mens actions. Now they made a martyr out of someone who could have just been "missing". My .02

An interesting read. It was copied and pasted from qqcomm New Jersey from an inflight debriefing preliminary report and made it's way to the UGI net. There were also blurbs of info regarding their exit but didn't make much sense because from what I gather it was coded. It (the full story from trusted sources) will be released soon enough and speculation, theories and plain old BS will be dispelled.

I take no responsibility for its accuracy but it sounds like the real deal. But I'm not an expert here!

3 slsm (grd/tac) maintained escape cover (drop & exit) (helo protection). 7 (grd/tac) maintained entry/counter coverage. 2 (grd/tac) (radio guides) lead outpoint or pointmen and maintained entry/exit (hotbox) coverage. 3 (grd/tac) lead breech and contact. Upon breech occupants were unaware of operation and in an "unguarded" and "suprised" state. (pt-1)Osama began yelling to his wife(s) to provide cover. 2 women fled left and were subdued by ent/tac #2, ent/tac and 1st. pointman #3 went to his sidearm as Osama pulled wife # 2 in front of him attempting to shield himself. Ent/tac # 3 fired into the leg of Osama in an attempt to take him alive. Osama fell to his right side as a result of the fire directed at him by ent/tac # 3. Osama lost control of wife (ssub) # 2 during this time. Ent/tac #1 (2nd pnt) witnessed Osama reaching behind him as he fell the floor. At this point (Grd)# 1 fired a single 9mm round striking Osama above the right eyebrow that rendered immediate and instant death to Osama.
Exit:..DDT

I personally would have liked to see a Norsemans axe between Bin Ladens eyes! It would have made things look more realistic for Hollywood in the coming years.

A rusty tablespoon to the eyesocket would have sufficed IMO.. As long as the outcome was death.
