I once read an interesting story about the Armorer for Delta Force... I believe it was in the book "The Commandos" which isn't a novel, but rather a report by a journalist on the different Special Operations Units.
Anyway, each member of Delta Force gets to choose their own type/model of weapon and have it customized anyway they want it (so long as it's tactical - nobody is allowed to have ivory handled pistols or anything ornate). The government pays for all of it, and the Delta Force Armorers have to be able to deal with all of it - these guys are some of the best in the world, the book says. Anyway, because the weapons are so customized it would be difficult for anyone else to use the weapons as effectively. So, when a Delta Force Operator leaves the unit, he is offered the opportunity to purchase his own customized weapon from the government, or it is taken apart to be used for parts... most of them buy the weapons.
I just figured the Joes had a similar set up.
Actually, that begs a question (one that I've always wondered about) - do the Delta Force troopers keep their customized weapons in the armory, still? That is how that works, right - they've got to go sign them out, or something?
