After being there for a bit, it would have taken a lot to impress me by seeing a rare or odd firearm. Iraqi weapons were like if the US never had the NFA, import restrictions and everything was bought from an early '80s firearms importer/distributor.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kharn: For some AKs (SAR parts sets?), before the barrel ban, it was cheaper for them to make AKs in Eastern Europe in one factory and immediately torch cut them in the warehouse next door vs specifically making parts sets without the receiver. Now with the barrel ban, I'm not sure why the bolt, FCG, etc aren't cheaper to make and import. Kharn President of Kragujevac/Zastava told me that (demilitarization in an adjacent building of new weapons) about 15 years ago. |

Would there be "bullet buttons" and magazine bans, if the California Brigade of Dragoons thought it was a bad idea? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By oscardeuce: Where’s all the Sturmgewehrs They all made their way there via Yugoslavia post-war. They are making their way to the EU as deactivated guns....and selling for big money. They will never make their way to the US.....that opportunity ended about 25 years ago....You could buy the parts kits/dummy guns all day long for 3-400 dollars in the mid-late 90's There is a lot of cool stuff languishing in Central / South America thats much easier to get into the country.....Last time I was down there (Ecuador - 2002), I was offered 3 Colt Gatlings in .43 Spanish for 5K each.....all had been tastefully spraypainted in chrome bumper paint. They also had a few Chilean Contract Jap Type 3 HMG's in 7mm Mauser for sale |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kali_Refugee: I doubt it. Way more captured guns than US casualties. Plus it would have to be a situation where a) they kill a US service member b) don’t destroy the gear in the process c) have enough control of the area to get to the casualty ransack the body d) escape the area without getting blown to shit. Not many instances meeting all those criteria to feed the market there. More likely scenario. Uncle sugar gives weapons to local goat sexual “ally” then the ally a: sells the free stuff for extra money b: drops it and runs c: is killed under circumstances listed above d: goes awol and joins taliban, Isis, or various other jihad of the month club. Sadly this is what they did to the 3 killed SEALs on Operation Red Wings. Video exists of the goat fuckers pilfering the bodies of all their kit, and M4s. Another example that touches on your reply is when the DEVGRU chopper was shot down shortly after the Bin Laden kill mission in A-Stan by a magic bb. Again the goat fuckers were ransacking the wreckage, but this time all the gear was blown up. I vividly remember seeing a charred barely recognizably HK 416 lower receiver Not contradicting anything you said, just giving some real life examples to the scenarios you described. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Crater: Makes me shake my head. In 2009 I was in Mosul, IA was being deluged with US arms and equipment. IA dufus ND's his NIB M4 three feet from me and laughs, Inshallah my ass. My point is: We showered them with Brand New up-armored Hummers with the powered turrets, Connex's full of NIB weapons and more ammo than they could ever hope to ND. Taught them everything they'd need to know to keep bad guys out of their city. Sadly, at the FIRST sign of ISIS making a move on Mosul, those IA cowards dropped everything and ran. Ran their Hummers until they ran outta fuel and just left them there fully equipped and functional. They left motor pools full of brand-new maintenance equipment, tools, everything. I have nothing but detest for the Iraqi Army and their Government, throw Afghanistan in there while your at it. What a great reply. It kills me to know the blood and treasure we spilled in Iraq for the ultimate result we currently have. That's not a statement on the actual war fighters, rather the absolute terrible two Presidents who resided over that war. I've seen pics of the plane loads of cash....a literal plane load of U.S. currency at the beginning of the war. |

So the pistol mag is used as a vertical fore grip, or just a funky layout on the table?
