Reply #65: who the heck is the white guy? [View All]

Yeah, m16.

That's a telling photo. DGSE? Or is it....

Nah--he must be one of the US or maybe Canadian DSS guys.

You need the caption. White guy with m16 does not a secretly armed with modern weapons coup make. Not rebel.

Secretly plotted coup we got. Bad enough, no need to cloudy the waters about the weapons--already cloudy.

Also, FAS lists the Galil as party of the former Haitian Army's equipment. http://www.fas.org/asmp/campaigns/smallarms/lainven.html

From brief reading, it is also probably old (say 70's). Israel shipped 'em all over because we shipped m-16's there. Design for IDF not really an IDF weapon. From what I can tell, this is a dated version--I thought they were AK's originally, thanks for clearing that up.

(edit--clean up and did some more research)
