Quoted:
Probably captured from one of Khadaffi's family or guards. As I understand it, they are popular with the high dollar mercenaries he had brought in. |

Where in the fuck did THAT come from? Wikipedia knows all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_F2000 Libya: Purchased 367 F2000 rifles along with other assorted lethal and non-lethal weapon systems from FN Herstal in 2008, and deliveries commenced in 2009. In the 2011 Libyan Civil War, Libyan rebel forces captured a number of these weapons from forces loyal to the Gaddafi regime.

Where in the fuck did THAT come from? Prestige weapon of Western origin for the political elite. If eveyone was running around with a crappy AK, toting around a modern, expensive piece would be a mark of distinction. I'm not talking about during any actual fighting of course, just during regular times. You see that a lot in that area. AUGs, G-36s, etc. Just look at Saddam's sons. |

Not like any of those retards are smart enough on how to run that thing like it should be.

Prior to the French dropping weapons to the Rebels; Libya, under Ghadafi, purchased three-hundred seventy-six F2000 rifles for the Khamis Brigade (formally the 32nd Reinforced Brigade of the Armed People, is a special forces heavily mechanized infantry brigade of the Libyan military. Commanded by Gaddafi's youngest son, Khamis Gaddafi, the 32nd Brigade was called "the most well-trained and well-equipped force in the Libyan military" and "the most important military and security elements of the regime" in leaked U.S. memos.) along with other assorted lethal and non-lethal weapon systems from FN Herstal in 2008, and deliveries commenced in 2009. The export of the weapons was initially blocked over concerns of proliferation into other volatile regions. That’s a FN Herstal F2000, with underbarrel grenade launcher. It’s a relatively new NATO-standard weapon, made in Belgium, and it fires NATO-standard ammunition, the same 5.56-mm round as the American M-16 or M-4. Mr. Darwish took possession of that today after it was lost by a Libyan Army soldier as the rebels overwhelmed the airport. I was the only journalist in sight around the airport for part of today, and when Mr. Darwish saw me he had his friend screech their pickup to a halt. He jumped out and ran over to ask what kind of strange rifle he had found. (How he suspected I might know, I cannot say.) Anyhow, I told him. Where is it from, he asked. I told him that, too. And what kind of ammunition does it fire? Same as NATO, I said. He was dismayed. His questions were obvious enough. This came from NATO? NATO is giving Qaddafi guns with which to kill us? |

Same place as the camo uniforms,body armor etc lots of the rebels are sporting. Tunisia,Kuwait,UAE and Qatar are all supporting them,both with material and their special forces,blended in with the fighters. I guess the best way to spot them might be to see who is actually using their sights |

Well,I'm going to guess that his English and understanding of what he was being told wasn't very good but uh,yeah...a NATO country DID sell those guns to Gathafi,mostly for the purpose of keepin' his people in line so I do understand the misunderstanding somewhat. For that matter,the SAS trained the Khamis Brigade...obviously not too well though. |

But FN Herstal won't sell to civilians in those countries in which the law allows it, and this for ethical reasons...
Oh the fucking irony... |
