Like Troynos said, its the guys who go out and de-activate or control detonate enemy explosive devises. You can see them in movies like "The Hurt Locker" or in tv shows like G4's "Bomb Squad Afghanistan". But like I said, Tunnel Rat didnt do that. In the post-vietnam era explosive engineers where the guys who basically sweapt for landmines and other booby traps. sometimes they did the opposite and mined entire country sides to prevent enemies from reaching outposts. Special forces guys had combat engineers trained in detecting enemy traps and also laying out traps. If you see the movie Predator you get a sense of what American special forces did most of the time (fight cartels, not the Predator part!) Theres a cool scene where Arnold tell the rest of the team to booby trap the whole jungle around them so they can catch whoever is attacking them. Well that booby trapping skill was what combat engineers did so well.

I love TR in the special missions series, and to me he was always the machine gunner like in the comics. They should make a real action TV series from the special missions comics,something like the Unit but more action and realistic.

I never cared for Tunnel Rat, his original figure didn't seem cool to me because of his Dockers pants and cowboy boots.
