They can do this because IS were fasting. Try doing it now when they are replenished.

I guess no one suggested to the SBS troopers to pick up any of the many weapons lying around from the dead ISIS fighters and use them against the enemy. Surely, there must be some rounds left in those AK-47s? All brawn and no brains?

it depends. sbs troopers by instinct and 2nd nature through years of training would know what to do. sometimes, the momentum of charging an enemy and going for the jugular supercedes the thought of stopping and changing gears to grab an enemy's weapon on the ground. what if enemy's weapon is jammed or has no ammo? a lot of risks in all situations but the surest way with lowest risk is maintain momentum, get close and snuff out life of enemy.

SAF send their commandos to seals, us special forces, rangers etc. But never heard of anyone kena sent to SAS or SBS

before my time they had sent one commando to philippines ranger course. To pass out they must go into the jungle and bring back a guerrilla soldier's head
