the
the senior team leader joseph garcia and
the senior team leader for the special
applications unit we are a high risk
mitigation correction special operations unit basically hostage
rescue major riots and movement of a
high risk high value inmate then you
worry in the united states that an
agency needs assistance with your college
one of the main reasons why i
get this question asked all the time
about the caltech chaos g and i
used to use the mossberg five ninety
i've used remington eight seventies and you
know what those are great workhorses for
shotguns but in our industry when we
go into a house here we're what
they call small team tactics base
just so if we're going into a
riot with one hundred two hundred inmates
chances are you're probably maybe looking at
a small group of us and so
when you do that you've gotta be
able to have a weapon that has
the capability of being able to supply
what we say violence downrange okay especially
if we go direct action and the
the chaos g seven years ago
when we went with the k sg
we went for a number of reasons
one size compact us twenty six point
one inches number two it has two
magazine tubes which gives me seven rounds
each with one of the chamber's fifteen
cape so that's amazing however the capacity
the versatility so i have select lever
and unlike a mosque
bert were a remington great weapons again
the kfc the celtic katie gives me
the ability to be will on the
fly to be able to change the
versatility of round so if i'm going
into a house and i need to
clear i need to breach a door
i can hit it by using on
the left magazine tube i can go
ahead and use breach or else and
on the right maggie
zing too but flicking real quick check
around out of it and then go
into a direct action capacity what people
don't realize is on a shotgun with
the proper rounds inside of a clearing
environment using lethal this is a very
good weapon that will knock anybody down
who's wearing body armor inside of a
corrections environment because my distance of my
inmates are running
throughout the housing unit in case somewhere
in some cases one hundred and eighty
feet no two hundred feet downrange or
as close as we call one in
your face i've got to be able
to switch on the fly and the
celtic case she gives me that the
balance of the shotgun if you look
at any other weapon out there okay
with it with a remington and with
the the
mossberg scrutinize shotguns for looking at balance
so i can use this weapon in
multiple ways as a bullpup system so
the rounds are coming out and these
are just some of the wonderful reasons
why we transition so for us it's
a bad economy about time about space
in motion and so again as our
warriors developers are as our fighters develop
so does of technology and you know
when it comes to weapons everybody has
a personality but this is mission essential
for us because it gives us the
four food groups that we need compactness
capacity versatility in rounds but most of
all the user-friendliness
besides that caltech casey and we have
a couple of other weapons that were
running so if we're wearing the rgb
we run the rgb again twenty six
point one inches overall length is an
excellent weapon the bullpup system it allows
me with a seventeen point five inch
barrel to be able to go close
quarters or step outside and go long
distance for high risk inmate transport this
is great this is set up for
us to go both sides of the
of the of the house or whether
we're in cq qb
b or where the word distance we
got our vortex optics razor hd here
so we can go one six and
so this is just some of the
things that we do for us again
it's about economy time space and motion
as an operator i've got to be
able to have the flexibility of picking
the right technology what we call mech
mks mission essential kit for us
the one of the things that i'm
really excited about and i'll tell guys
this all the time
don't shoot for competition and when our
guys deployed we do real time real
time missions i don't go into the
combat box or the sandbox there are
a lot of guys in the military
who do that on a regular basis
and so they have different missions with
the types of of rounds types of
equipment that they're using and so their
weapons are set up for those environs
so as we're looking at for us
the five five six were three hundred
blackout we found the company blackbird and
here's the great surprise for us with
twenty twenty twenty twenty
we're going to be adopting after a
lot of testing uk is the new
bantam sp american made innovations amazing they're
using aerospace technology and when you start
using high end metals high in great
technology precision based type of design on
a weapon for example but i can
go from what we call seek you
beat it going in an ex
standing you'll give me surprise so one
of the the other features that we
really like about this is that we
have a five and a half inch
barrel you add a four-inch a suppressor
on it you have nine inches roughly
cape so the overall length of this
weapon right now collapse down you're under
twenty one inches can't beat that for
us high risk inmate transport where we
call for us and believe it
as we're moving through the woods sometimes
we have to navigate over the terrain
we gotta be able to go from
what we call is under twenty one
inches i need to extend this and
come out because i see my target
i'm here when we're doing tracking fugitive
recovery it's not that i need a
long range weapon because that's why i
have hilo that's why i have spotters
and i've got snipers okay
working i want i've got to be
able to go it's almost like a
c qb environment okay so for us
when i collapsed as a kid no
matter where i'm at i can still
have this weapon for the versatility of
putting it wherever i need to compactness
low signature and that's the big thing
in today's political climate that we see
i've got the tickets weapon collapses down
as quickly as possible taken to a
bag or underneath my coat
or even if i'm in public this
is just a low profile it's a
low profile where it's not intimidating but
it does a lot of intimidating work
and that really becomes the the the
big premise for us
now everybody can get into what about
putting it in mud or the temperatures
of if you think a company like
this puts out a weapon utilizing the
finest metals the finest precision and design
american made technology experienced by some of
the top guys in soft community and
just to put a weapon out there
that can't pass the what we call
the basic tech
that's right all those thermal test all
the sand the grip the wind everything
you want to put it in besides
putting in a pool with orca the
whale okay this is the company that
uses that as the standard for their
minimal standards and then they take it
from there that's why they've gone to
the best minds to help them create
every functioning process like for example i
take
whether i use a suppressor on suppressed
whether it's for any threaded or non
threaded i come out or use subsonic
or supersonic guess what i don't have
to change anything with the gas tube
on this piece i go here squeezed
out and i go right toward that
quick that simple i need to stow
and go i still this bad boy
and i'm gone so
i need to put this down but
i still wanna go and where their
political correctness with a little bit of
daddy spanking
the great question that you ask about
our likes so
eight years ago nine years ago a
company by name of course survival contacted
us and talked about lights because they
saw us using some kind of marking
light we were using glow sticks on
our dog for us instead of a
corrections environment it's all about safety through
visualization so with all the weapons that
we use everything for us has gotta
be user friendliness and there's a reason
why we do it
so with our canines we had an
accident where almost one of our our
canines was almost shot by an operator
and up at the end of the
d brief what happened we didn't see
the dog come through hm interesting so
we were sent these lights and with
these lights but when we originally started
using them we use them just like
this
and the manufacturer called us and said
hey the bay should be at the
bottom and then the light should be
at the top so basically it should
have been like this and that that's
how you properly put them on i
said oh okay that's great thanks for
the info appreciate it so we went
ahead and continue to go this route
here for one reason i'm not halo
jumping so i don't need anybody see
the top of my head so as
my guys move in
okay inside of a corrections environment i
wanted the cameras to see because everything
is usually in color so they know
in command post red teams coming through
door number one or breach one breach
to i've got no green team coming
in or red team coming in so
again it was visualization so for us
we use blue for the team leader
and then it's going to be red
team or green team player or vice
versa and then with our dogs again
for the handler the dogs green we
match them we'd sink them and so
that anybody can see them so we're
following the light technology in whatever people
are doing now and so there's a
company called guardian angel and they have
this light on here update and so
with them they can go through strobes
more
all different colors it's easy on the
detachable side so it's like a thirty
pound magnet goes on the shoulder okay
any shoulder they want they've got a
little light position here so if i
have to turn on my front lights
okay i can turn on my front
lights and then cook it very very
quickly right there and we're ready to
go and so that that's the kind
of technology that's out there
so for us again it really goes
down to it what makes us very
unique what makes us special and what
we do is that we follow and
we are constantly looking at technology that
doesn't look sexy but actually has a
reason and helps us against say economy
of time space and most
better operator and one or two things
are ok but it has to be
a major breakthrough in technology and innovation
and design because when we're in a
fight no matter what it is it's
important that that everything is for us
makes us more efficient as operas as
more fighters out there
and so for our guys who are
for what we call our designated marksman
operators who are out there we've got
the snipe which is a six five
grendel okay try saying that three times
real fast like hansel and gretel but
grendel okay we use that for rooftop
operations future recovery and long distance operations
so again our versatility in our weapons
side of the house is very versatile
we can go from the bullpup platform
but the celtic chaos cheese the rd
bs mission essential for us and then
we can easily flip and go into
when we need to a traditional platform
for the a r side of the
house we're right now relying
on the blackboard to take us to
that next level in the next generation
precedent in our fighting fertility both companies
innovation i mean just pure superiority when
it comes to materials and design and
craftsmanship i'm senior team leader garcia and
don't forget to tip your translators out
