Islamic State using US arms

[TheCreeper]

[QUOTE] Islamic State fighters appear to be using captured US military issue arms and weapons supplied to moderate rebels in Syria by Saudi Arabia, according to a report published on Monday.

The study by the London-based small-arms research organisation Conflict Armament Research documented weapons seized by Kurdish forces from militants in Iraq and Syria over a 10-day period in July.

It also found that anti-tank rockets used by IS in Syria were "identical to M79 rockets transferred by Saudi Arabia to forces operating under the Free Syrian Army umbrella in 2013".[/QUOTE]

Really? An insurgent group using captured weapons? Who'd have guessed that.

Yeah they captured a ton of Iraqi gear, if you didn't expect this then I have some bad news for you, you may have an IQ lower than that of a salmon.

That's degrading to salmon :(

As soon as you introduce your own weapons into a conflict, you should expect to see them being used by the other side.

[TVC15]

What do they expect them to do? Make their own weapons?

You all know you want it to happen :v:

This is in:
IS suspected to be breathing the same air as freedom/family/values-loving peaceful western people (who happend to be the biggest weapon exporters in the world)

[Chris™]

They have US arms, Iraqi Legs and an arse for a head

[BCell]

Here's a way to have those terrorist abandon their weapons.

Claim the parts were made from PIG LEATHER and Pork. Of course this might lead to a repercussion in fire arm sales to other countries though....
