Navy SEALs and other special operations units use tape on rifles primarily for securing accessories like pressure switches and managing wires, a practice stemming from older rifle designs lacking accessory rails. Modern applications favor specialized camo wrap tape that leaves no residue, allowing for easy removal and adjustment. The core principle is functional customization: use whatever method, be it tape, zip ties, or glue, that best ensures your firearm operates reliably for your specific needs.
