Operation Neptune Spear

Operation Neptune Spear is one of the best known and most highly classified missions that the SEAL teams have ever executed. It was the mission that supposedly killed Osama Bin Laden.

The mission started with about two dozen SEALs being flown by helicopter from Jalalabad airbase in Afghanistan, across the border, and Being dropped off next to Bin Laden's compound in Abottabad, Pakistan.
One of the Helicopters crashed, leaving no SEALs harmed, and was purposely destroyed.

The SEALs were armed with H&K416 suppressed assault rifles, H&K MP7A1 submachineguns, also suppressed, and SIG Mk25 pistols.

The raid lasted about 40 minutes, in which a firefight occurred, the SEALs quickly overcoming opposition, with Bin Laden being shot by the point man on the third floor of the compound.
