Big gun haul in Las Cuevas forest

[stev]

from what i see on news...criminals usually have way better guns than those in the army or police...ent ah man in arima had ah bazooka while army movin wit ah lil paks paks. so funny...

[rfari]

anyway, can anyone with gun experience confirm if weapons in this condition can even be used?

i thought you were a military tactician and firearms specialist? why don't you tell us, G.I Joe?

i am not. ok. i just try to be observant. not because i have a different opinion to you means that i think i'm a know-it-all or what not. i have no idea where you get the idea that im a 'military tactician or firearms specialist'. come wid ur proof when u accusing me. and its friday homie are you going to hold me in mind and troll my responses? if so, lemme know how to move.

there's a difference between expressing an opinion and stating a fact

in other threads you have attempted to state "facts" (instead of expressing your opinion) to people who are more suitably qualified than yourself e.g the threads with yourself vs. bluespeed

even when he told you that he was a member of the TTDF you continued blasting away the man ignorant of the REAL facts presented to you at the time

just some food for thought

this is the thread you talking about.
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=392848

where did i attempt to state facts? if u talking about the higi-higi mountain part. forget that. i just baited bluespeed to go off on another of his cocky rants so that i can show him some humility.

an idea will be to see if they can retrieve or locate the serial numbers for the guns and ask the manufacturers for sale info. Any other option would breach our rights and people go tote feelings- but in the US the government monitors the bank records and big transactions

[noobie]

So you all are saying this haul was not a complete joke given the age and condition of the weapons?

That in that condition they are actually usable?

I'm hearing a lot of jackassess bray in the local media about how old these guns are, and making joke about how it 'cyar do nobody nuttin'. Fact of the matter is ANY gun off the streets is a good thing.
Kudos to all the efforts by the army and the ttps to date.

[ImprezaDriver]

So you all are saying this haul was not a complete joke given the age and condition of the weapons?

That in that condition they are actually usable?

there's a reason why ak-47's are popular among poor towelheads and other 3rd world wanna-be che guevaras


and the reporters got the calibres backward.

So the soe force police to be doing what they were being paid to do anyway. I don't really care about the soe either way im not involved in anything illegal so not much need to worry, but why should i give praise for soe when the police doing what the police should have been doing regardless?

wham now Frank?
world's smallest violin....ahhahahah

[casper]

look at tetanous

[UML]

about the guns being old and useless....even if they not working...which I doubt...cause das just the surface....but even if, they dont need to work to frighten, rob, rape, kidnap, extort, etc....nobody going tuh say "shoot meh dey fadda lemme see if that gun wukin or lemme see if the gun wuking dey mr bandit"

how many ppl have been robbed by toy guns??? and even objects protruding under jerseys???


and the end of the day its still a gun and can still harm. thank god they found it. keep up the good work officers. long live the PP.

[Mark!]

All this gun talk hav me hyped up. FPSRussia time!

[rollingstock]

If my memory serves correct November "10, this is not including Protective services shootings whilst on duty or outside T&T

[rollingstock]

^ Yep, well technically, the gun used was never recovered, the victim was shot with a 5.56 calibre round, the description of the gun by witnesses especially the folding stock led us to believe it was a Galil.

[altec]

those guns looking like they are a cache from 1990

[rollingstock]

If it was a cache from 1990, there would have been significantly more corrosion.
A few of those guns don't even date that far back wrt manufacture date, albeit the majority seem to have been acquired since the time of the coup.
