Inside job?

Inside job?

Most likely...

I wonder if it would attract any attention trying to buy 20+ regular MP-5 barrels on-line right now.



( I am guessing that is one of the parts needed to make the fire real bullets again.)

Inside job?

That is usually the prevailing logic.

I'd bet they're all south of the border and in cartels hands by now.

Yep, someone on that SWAT Team just made his moneys worth for the year.

9MM is "High-powered?" Maybe in an old JMB/FN design...

Wow, the L.A. Times are covering the Fast and Furious scandal

Definitely someone in the know involved with that one.

Didn't LAPD have a bunch of ammo stolen a few years ago? Can't find the article now...

TheDan, is this what you are looking for?

I guess all large departments have lapses in security, some more than others.

It was something ridiculous like 30,000 rounds of ammo stolen from their storage facility. Might not have been LAPD but pretty sure it was in CA. I think it was posted on here, too. Ah well, doesn't really matter.

Looks like an inside joib or simple dumb ass good luck . . . I dont beleive in the luck

For the LOLs, I am hoping that not only was it not an inside job, but that the person responsible didn't know they had been modified to only fir blanks. "El Hefe, here are the sweet guns I promised you." "Lets fire a couple to see how they shoot." "These don't work...what are you trying to pull!?!?"

Correction: "Let's fire a couple to see how they shoot." Next sound is a kaboom!!

Why would the lead guitarist for NOFX want 21 MP5's?
