American Sniper weaponry: SIG Sauer P226

Mucho de la población civil (incluyéndome) puede fantasear sobre el encanto de las armas. La realidad como siempre es otra. Y de la mano de los expertos la realidad en situación de combate.

Pistols The standard SEAL-issued pistol was a SIG Sauer P226, chambered for 9-mm ammo. While that is an excellent weapon, I felt I needed more knockdown power than nine millimeters could provide, and later started carrying my own personal weapon in place of the P226. Let’s face it—if you’re using a pistol in combat, the shit has already hit the fan. You may not have the time for perfect shot placement. The bigger rounds may not kill your enemy, but they’re more likely to put him down when you hit him.
