Greatest Guerilla Army of all time? Terrorists you say?
I'm trying to learn more about the rifles, AR-18s and M16s they used during the troubles than YouTube currently allows.
Anyone have cool photos to share or books they reccomend?

Reportedly the AR-18 was popular because they could buy them in the US, fold the stock, then stuff them down a pant leg for the boat ride home.
But then again, I just need to get my post count up.
