Some interesting photos. These guys are pretty ingenius, and brave. They should have some build threads.

Holy stone age.... I ain't used an arc welder in ummmm 10 years?

Need moar GRM stickers!!

I want to know where they got their hands on a FN F2000 with grenade launcher and suppressor...

EDIT: After a little searching looks like a little over 300 of those were bought by the Libyan army.

Enjoy your new spot on Big Brother's internet "watch list."

We're not so secretly funneling arms/supplies their way.

Now I know where all the mid/small size 4 door trucks are.

In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac:

I am sure that there are quite a few of us on here that would make those lists for one reason or another I seem to remember seeing a list of "traits" that government types look at to help determine if you are a terrorist. Some of the things were ridiculous.

not homebrewed...can anybody ID this?

In reply to JoeyM:

Looks like FN.

FN F2000 shown here:

Yeah, judging by that ridiculous trigger it shares with the P90 its an FN.

F2000?

Edit: Damn you N Sperlo!!!!!

Guys I already IDed that puppy and was asking where they got their hands on it. You can actually see the FN logo if you look close. It is the F2000 and it has the integrated grenade launcher and a suppressor mounted. That is a serious piece of equipment.

In reply to rebelgtp:

Just be glad you grew up where you did.

In reply to N Sperlo: Now you are just over compensating...

Just kidding

Most countries that use the F2000 are only using them for special forces type groups at this point.

On a side note I got some time behind one of these recently...It was shall we say interesting.

Another side note I have one of these on the way. A FN Patrol Bolt XP.

In reply to rebelgtp:

How long before they told you to take it out if the barrel?

Oh they just let me have my time with it in private

Granted things got a bit noisy

Oh my God. I don't know how they found me, but they found me.

I was disappointed that there weren't any pictures that I could say looked like a shoddy bomb casing full of used pinball machine parts. Although these rockets with booger-welded fins may come close.

In my head I see this guy shooting off backwards after letting a few rounds loose

Photo 29, "a rocket launcher salvaged from a Russian attack helicopter," has stencilled instructions in English. I take it that would be the export model.

Were you thinking what I was thinking?

"Cool, Toyota HiLux with a snorkel kit! I bet it's a diesel. I wish I could get one of those in the US"

Those "rockets" are R-27 Vympel (NATO codename AA-10 'Alamo') AAMs with the larger fins folded for shipment.
