6/6/2011 - ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. -- Members of the 134th Security Forces Squadron spend three days training on entry tactics, heavy arms, and re-qualifying on the Beretta M9 and M4 Carbine here May 16.

6/7/2011 11:39:39 AM ET In what alternate reality are M9s M4s and M203s considered heavy weapons? Granted anything over 20mm is considered artillery but the M203 is still considered small arms. M2 Mk19 M240...heavy weapons. Otherwise nice photos.
