Wait till you see operators running around with pouch-ception (pouches on pouches on pouches...)... in actual combat (urban roof-hopping no less) and pulling it off like a hong-kong action flick bawss...
Me? I carry way more gear and ammo than that, but whenever I go out gimme a 3-day pack please, at the very least. (Admittedly, I've never 'ran and gunned' or whatever they call it, so...)
Pistol is an S&W M&P chambered in 9mm or .40 with a Flat Dark Earth frame and threaded barrel (ID'able by the magazines). The rifle magazines are Magpul PMAGs, two of which have Magpuls. (yo dawg etc.)
(gear: Haley Strategic D3CR chest rig in Kryptek Highlander, HSGI Costa Leg Rig dropleg in Multicam, Mechanix gloves, 3M Peltor earpro)

I think it would be the 9mm since the .40 S&W is considered special ammunition...
Looking back at this picture, it actually is a 9mm; I missed the rear stamped rib on the magazine (present on 9mm but not .357/.40 mags) first time around. I'm not sure how "special" I'd consider .40 S&W, though, seeing as it's the 3rd-most common handgun round in the US - it's no 9x19, but it's certainly no handloaded wildcat, either.

The .40 S&W has slightly more energy than the 9mm, making it a sort of intermediate round, better than the 9x19 but not when compared to the .45 ACP.
Considering US civilian firearms ownership makes up nearly half of the total in the entire world (Small Arms Survey 2007), not to mention law enforcement use, US-only would still be nothing to sniff at. In any case, it's not - while it's certainly not nearly as popular outside outside the US as within, .40 is used by law enforcement in Canada, Australia, Brazil, and the Philippines, and widely among civilians in South Africa (non-exhaustive list).
In any case, this isn't going to go anywhere without a definition of "special ammunition" or, for that matter, "better". Muzzle energy determining "better" or "worse" is massively over-simplified.
(Also, I'm not exactly in dire need of an explanation of what .40 S&W is; a Glock 23 was the first firearm I ever shot.)

The .40 S&W round would have never existed, if it weren't for the 10mm bullet, but neither of those bullets would have existed if not for April the 11th, 1986...
What? 10mm Auto and the Bren Ten were in production by 1983, and 10mm Auto itself traces its heritage to the .40 G&A wildcat created for Guns & Ammo magazine in 1972.

Let's just put it this way, the .40 S&W round wouldn't be in existence today, if it weren't for the events of April the 11th, 1986...
