It’s just a bunch of “tacticool” accessories, not anything rare or particularly high-tech. IMO it makes the agents look like try-hard dorks - no number of laser scopes is going to turn them into commandos.
(With that said, the house does say “We don’t dial 911” and so it makes sense for the agents to be particularly careful.)
It more speaks to how a kitted out ar-15 kinda IS “the height of close-combat weaponry”. Pretty much all of the concerns over stopping power of the 5.56 on an armored target (because the cavitation caused in soft targets is well documented in american high schools) goes out the window since even a shot to level 3 armor in close quarters is going to incapacitate people. And all those attachments are pretty bog standard military kit.
Which is the problem. You can buy the same gear we use to go after… heads of fucking state at a Walmart. And the only real difference is whether you have no full auto capability or are told that you shouldn’t use full auto.
There is a reason that militaries around the world are STILL adopting what are essentially AR-15s for their general infantry and special forces.

“We don’t dial 911, we dial .357” is the full saying, at least where I grew up
