This class is the equivalent of a secret agent of the battlefield. They are equipped with the standard issue knife 'n 'nades, a silenced combat pistol, a carbine (a smaller variant of a gun, lighter and less powerful), and have a very versatile set of C4 explosives.
The Spec Ops kit does not wear heavy body armour, as it is meant to be a versatile kit, so speed is of the essence, but it does come with a very fashionable beret.
I shall cover the knife later, as with the 'nades, as all kits have them, so they may as well be separate topics.
The gun
Silenced Pistols: These are all essentially the same, so I'll give you some pictures, and a few tactics.
1. Don't underestimate this small thing, it can take out an unarmoured enemy (all except assault and support) in 3-5 shots. So if you come into a situation where the enemy has his back to you, save some valuable bullets on your main weapon, and take him out with a few choice shots to the head.
2. They don't call it silenced for nothing! It only makes a small clicking sound, that can barely be heard from 2 metres away, so if you remain concealed from the enemy's view, you can take a few pot shots at him, and he'll become confused as to where the shots are coming from, or more preferably, dead.
3. If you happen to run out of ammo mid-conflict, don't hesitate to draw your pistol. It can be quite deadly if you just need to get a last few shots in to either kill, or get into cover. More than likely, an experienced foe will draw his/her pistol in combat if he has no ammo left/ needs a reload for his main weapon, and more than likely, it'll push him/her through a tough spot.

These are the pistols in their silenced configuration. Seeing as you will only ever be playing in this view as infantry, it is the only one you need to know. With guns that require it, I shall include specific tactics. Sorry for the pixelated approach, Blogspot doesn't like big pictures.
QSZ-92 (PLA Pistol)
It is most definitely the coolest of the pistols, having a nice red 'thingy' on it. It is, however a pistol, and the enemy doesn't care what you're gun looks like, unless it's a tank (which usually merits its own fair share of attention from anything).
MR-444 (MEC Pistol)
Ditto, just less cool, and Russian.
9F2S (USMC Pistol)
Also known as the M9 pistol, but 9F2S sounds better. It looks smooth, but then again, it's a pistol.
Now an enemy is not going to back down at the sight of a pistol, and it hardly packs enough of a punch to fend for itself, so each Spec-Op also carries a carbine.
Here's what wikipedia has to say about carbines (yes, you shall see many wikipedia references, and why not?)
A carbine is a firearm similar to, but generally shorter and less powerful than, a rifle or musket of a given period. There have been many carbines developed from rifles, being essentially shorter rifles firing the same ammunition, although usually at a lower velocity, and there have also been many where the carbine and rifle adopted by a particular nation were not technically related, such as using completely different ammunition or internal operating systems (though the carbine still being weaker, or of smaller size). Which may be more common, depending on the time period.
Of course, wikipedia waffles on about the entire history of the carbine, so I've just included the description, if you want to read more here's the link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbine. Also, I've left on the links so anybody who wants to know more about those subject
Each gun shall have its own post, seeing as I can't find a way to get around this awkward setup (it places the pictures at the top instead of the bottom).
