The Colt Model 723 and “Commando” Model 733 were transitional 80’s-90’s carbines that laid the groundwork for the development of what we see in general issue for the U.S. Military. This particular model was made famous by the scene from Black Hawk Down, when one of the two helicopter snipers (Master Sgt. Gary Gordon and Master Sgt. Randy Shugart) rescued a fallen comrade with no expected support in sight.
SFOD-D (Delta Force) operators were amongst the first to experiment with these Car15’s that were a solution to the multipurpose-carbine to be used with the new Aimpoint sights and OPSINC suppressors.
We attempt to delve into the topic of the early Delta Force carbine, and find out exactly why they were so attached to this design; and the characteristics that Master Sgt. Gary Gordon’s carbine makes it so attractive even for today’s purposes.

The hosts Henry and Josh started shooting from humble backgrounds, and families that had no foundation in the shooting sports or firearms. Through their journey in shooting sports, they have both developed extremely different backgrounds that compliment each other with perspectives in historical firearms development, employment, rifle performance, munitions development, firearms manipulation, and publications.
The show aims to create a comprehensive brief of information that helps researchers, consumers, government entities and enthusiasts in their quest for beneficial information, no matter what answers they seek.
