What is the world's most powerful rocket propelled grenade launcher?
The Milkor M32 MGL could be considered the most powerful handheld grenade launcher.
The United States developed the most powerful grenade launcher in history in the late 1950's as part of the program that was engineering the Davy Crockett Weapon System (the M-28 or M-29 and M-388 selectable yield nuclear projectile--nominal yield of .001 to .002 kilotons). The Davy Crockett was euphemistically called the Nuclear Hand Grenade, but weighing in at over 51 pounds each, was hardly manageable by one person. A three man crew was needed for firing the M-388 in either of its configurations. The M-28 was a 102mm, tripod mounted, crew transportable, recoiless rifle with a 2 km range. The M-29 was a 155mm launcher mounted on a tripod or vehicle with a range of 4 km.
Production began in 1956 and 2,100 weapons systems were produced. The weapon was tested twice at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. On 7 July 1962 a static test of the M-388 wast conducted with the device suspended at three feet. On 17 July (with then US Attorney General Robert Kennedy watching), the M-28 fired a round 1.7 miles for detonation. These were the last above ground nuclear tests conducted by the US. Troops also trained with M-101 Spotter Rounds (non-nuclear) at the Pohakuloa Training Area in Hawaii.
Units were deployed with Davy Crockett systems from 1961 to 1971 (only until 1967 in West Germany). The only remaining examples of this weapons system in existence are in the following museums.
- The Air Force Space & Missile Museum, Cape Canaveral, Florida
- The Atomic Testing Museum, Las Vegas, Nevada
- Don F. Pratt Museum, Fort Campbell, Clarksville, Tennessee
- The National Atomic Museum, Albuquerque, New Mexico
- The National Infantry Museum, Fort Benning, Georgia
- The United States Army Ordnance Museum, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland
- The Watervliet Arsenal Museum, Watervliet, New York
- West Point Museum, West Point, New York
Are the US Navy SEALs better than the Army?
The US Army has its own special forces units. In all cases, the units are extremely well trained for the missions that they are designed to accomplish. They are not expected to be able to do the same things, so it would not make sense to try and compare the two types of units.
How do you reduce the trigger pull on model 60?
"go to DIP and buy a target trigger for around $30"
I take it from that statement you don't own the DIP trigger. I do, it's been on my 60 for over a year, it does not reduce trigger pull. It's a great rigger, I like the straight profile over the curved Marlin trigger and the adjustment for trigger pre-travel, but it doesn't reduce trigger pull. This has been confirmed by several DIP trigger owners and my Lymann digital trigger pull gauge.
There is no simple fix for reducing trigger pull on a Marlin semi-auto. The action has to be taken apart and have parts replaced or modified to reduce pull weight.
For anyone really interested in reducing pull on the Marlin 60, 795 or other variant of the Marlin semi-auto, you should log on to Rimfire Central forums and read the information provided in the stickies of the Marlin sub-forums.
How many hours a day do Navy Seal candidates sleep during training?
During hell week it is as little as 4 hours the whole week, other than that about an hour a day. real answer) It is 4 hours during hell week but silly to think that you only sleep an hour a day otherwise.

No, there is no public list of all current\former Navy SEALs. Their names are not classified as previously stated, it's just not all public.
If you want to verify somebody's claim that they are a Navy SEAL you could pull their Military Record using The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to do this you need to contact the National Personnel Records Center.

Why is the special forces beret green?
Around WW2, select US Army Rangers and OSS operatives were taken over to the UK to complete the British commando course. Upon completion, they were issued the green beret. After the war, these soldiers then went on to become the first members of the newly formed Army Special Forces. They kept the British green berets as a sign of pride, but they were not sanctioned for wear by the Army. President Kennedy saw an exhibition by them and was very impressed, officially authorizing the beret to wear by US Special Forces only. The Army then took a Canadian beret design and created new US Army green berets for the Special Forces soldiers. There's more information on this on the US Army Special Forces Wikipedia page.
