oooooo k!!!
SHORT ANSWER: They use the kind of guns that kill people.
LONG ANSWER: SEALs use a varied number and types of weapons depending on what the mission profile is.For Counter terror or hosatage rescue they can use Heckler and Koch M-P5's submachineguns, along with 12 gauge shotgun for door breaching.
For a straight up military action they could be armed with M-16A2 assault rifles(usually with grenade launcher) with one or several using the M-60 machine guns as support.
If the mission is clandestine or covert(not unusual for SEALs who are a military option for our government 24/7)
they then could be armed with practically any servicable weapon from anywhere in the world-as long as it would not identify them as U.S. military. SEALs are skilled in the use of numerous weapons from armies worldwide for use in clandestine missions or if they are forced to resort to enemy weapons to continue fighting. SEALs are also expected to be first rate pistoleers and although they use high capacity automatics the number of models from team to team(I hear) varies.

A few times while at Crane Naval Warfare Center at Crane Indiana I had the time of my life.We got to go to the range and shoot everything the Seals do.I shot 22 cal.,to 50 cal. and I believe a 20mm rifle.We had all 3 MACs the 10s and 11.We had AKs,SKSs,M-16, shotguns,lots weapons ,ammo and a sunny afternoon.
Being retired,I dont get to go play there anymore ,but I do show uo at Camp Atterbury ,Indiana at times and get to shoot with the Seals there.

the best guns that you can have my friend is the one that sits between your eyes and ears.
the hardware becomes second nature .
