Some guns from Libya
|
I almost feel sorry for the dude with the Carcano. He sort of looks like he is sad that he does not have as cool a gun as the other guys
|
That's quite a mix, especially for a people who have been living under Gadhafi's boot for so many years. Props to the guy with the ax in his belt.
|
The Hi-Power seems popular, at least I think that's one in the third pic. There's definitely one in the first pic.
|
Finally a war I can get behind.
|
Really burt?
I like the dual shotguns and axe. |

From the first pic I think it's easy to see who's arming the rebels...
|
Well you definitely can tell there was an influence over the region.

If I ran a gun company id refuse business with bad guys, profits be damned. But back to the pics, does that guy have a mag taped to the muzzle o his ak? I see the dual mags taped up but it looks like a third on the muzzle.

Someone should give Carcano dude one of those F2000's so he won't be sad because he has a lame gun
|
Just thought I would put up a few more interesting images:

Whoooaaa, a M1919A6. My buddy took a picture of one he ran across in Iraq, but it was just on display. How the hell does he get ammo for that thing? Canvas belts?
|
These pics are pretty awesome. I'm liking the Sterling and the Beretta M12.

Yeah with all that gold you could sell it for a better gun:cool:

There's some interesting stuff in these pics. I always think it's interesting when you can look at the guns being used in a particular conflict zone, and you can tell a lot about that country's history (i.e. presence of Italian-made guns is a reminder of colonial days).

I wouldn't go to say that those weapons are useless. "ancient", yeah but a gun is a gun and if it shoots bullets and won't blow up in my face, I'll take it...unless it's like an old musket.

They are getting their asses kicked.

I'd love the rebels to win, but any rebel group that can't "liberate" an airfield, tank depot, or armory (esprecialy the armory) in the first day deserves to lose. They don't have to hold the place, just take what you can and wreck the rest.
|
Well, the president said we're in this until Gaddafi is out. So if the rebels are getting their asses kicked, and president wants to follow through, you can see where this is going.
On the plus side, we already have lots of equipment in the region. |
Chris Hondros' final pictures were published. It looks like they're mainly just using AKs for actually fighting, which makes sense. There's also an FAL in one of the photos.

Ghadaffi is bad but the rebels may not be better, there is no one rebel movememnt though. One leader says "we want peace and democracy" another says "we need sharia law" then anopther says "society needs to be more tribal."
Remember when the rebels took british soldiers hostage? Bad move. |

Either way, the quality of small arms used by either side is not going to be the decisive factor in this conflict. It never is. Quote:
