We didn't misplace any, we lost them in accidents and then couldn't find them, and decided that if the United States can't find it, then it's gone for good. :pudge:

Hey, we didn't misplace any! We know exactly the general area of where they were accidentally dropped!!

So, working at an absolutely massive ordnance facility and handling just about everything conventional in the US arsenal, a conversation came up at work about how much munitions we're talking. If it's US bought Ordnance the OEM packaged form of that list ranges from a wooden crate the size of medium size luggage weighing 45 lbs and ammo tins to large 5 ft crates (LAW) weighing well over 100. Some things come in larger quantites per case than others so maybe around 200 crates weighting 30-160 lbs each through a hole in the fence without the aid of a half ton or forklift says they had either a man on the inside and they've been taking stuff out regularly for sometime or they had a fuck ton of people and it was well coordinated even so it would take several hours to move that much in one go.

According to this article, it is likely that someone on the inside was helping.
