Chadd Wright details the intense and technical Phase 3 of Navy SEAL BUDS training, emphasizing its 'beat down' nature and focus on integrity. Key challenges included a grueling land navigation course on San Clemente Island ('The Rock'), brutal physical training like 'Chow PT', and demanding Over the Beach (OTB) operations in heavy surf. Wright highlights the importance of mental toughness, integrity, and overcoming adversity, even during events like Thanksgiving or night swims.
Larry Vickers provides an expert overview of the rare HK SFP9 M (Maritime) variant, developed for the German Kampfschwimmer. This pistol is a maritime-optimized version of the VP9/SFP9, featuring enhanced salt-water resistance, 'over the beach' capability for rapid water drainage, and specialized slide rackers. The 15-round KSM-marked magazines have stiffer springs and are reverse compatible with US VP9 and HK P30 models. Due to its limited civilian availability, it's a highly sought-after collector's item.
The Sig Sauer P226 demonstrates impressive resilience in extreme 'Over the Beach' testing, successfully firing after being submerged in dirt and water. While it performed flawlessly in dirt and water submersion tests, attempts to fire underwater resulted in failures, attributed to Tula steel-cased ammunition and light primer strikes. This contrasts with previous Glock Gen 4 failure tests, positioning the P226 as a robust alternative.
