SWCC Operators from Special Boat Team 12 conduct a night training exercise off of San Clemente Island and they fire so many rounds that they actually start to melt their .50 cal barrels.

The purpose of a Special Boat Team is primarily for the insertion and extraction of U.S. Navy SEAL Teams. In a lot of instances however they are used in a similar capacity to the SEAL teams they operate with on a regular basis. It's not uncommon for a SEAL Team to pull members of a SBT off of their crafts and bring them to the objective with them to ensure they have enough people with them on an operation.

This footage, which comes to us courtesy of the U.S. Department of Defense and Brad Houser, shows members of Special Boat Team 12 conducting a night fire training exercise off the coast of San Clemente Island. It showcases the SWCC team's ability to bring an unprecedented level of firepower to the coast of any gunfight where a SEAL team may be waiting for an extract.
