ISIS using AR's?

[smashycrashy]

I notice Hezbollah has a lot AR's they have been fighting a lot for Assad in Syria. As noted previously that doesn't look like an ISIS fighter.

so that guy is not ISIS. But I am sure everyone is right, lots of US made equipment can be found over there, by both sides.

I remember seeing isis convoy towing M1 Abram tank on liveleak before.
Thanks to our brave Iraqi ally for their generosity.

ISIS got plenty of American hardware from fleeing Iraqi troops, including M4/M16's, Humvee's, etc.

Beat me to it

[Iktomi]

All the more reason to ban sales of AR's, because obviously ISIS is
using straw purchasers in Arizona to equip themselves

In half seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if someone from the Ograbber Administration tried floating that meme...

[QUOTE=thetaxman;16151309]First up, it sure looks like an AR with a mag coupler being used. Longer barrel than normal and perhaps no optic.

It is an M16A4 with detachable carry handle, M5 RAS and Grip pod

Hey, cannot afford to get an AK - Pick up an M16/M4, that the Americans gave those so called Iraqi 'soldiers'.

I'm sure there's more than enough ammo, mags, optics, humvees, and a whole lot of extras - they left behind.

The terrorist bastage seems to have an extra mag holder, I guess because that's all a M16/M4 can shoot before the rifle starts to choke up and jam. AK FTW.

hahaha.

I just want to know how he's going to reach for his mags...

That's for doing his SPECOPS room clearing, they're for his #2 man to reload while stacking up.

His mags are the ones in the front pouch.

The reason I ask is that this image had a caption stating that this was an individual fighting against ISIS - a tribal fighter supporting pro-government forces.

You mean the OP simply assumed that anyone in the Middle East with a gun and not a green uniform is a jihadi?

[pooizle]

Can't let the Russians monopolize the gun trade lol

[ElvenSoul]

Holder and Yee sure got around!

ISIS thanks Obama. When Obama pulled us out of Iraq he left millions of dollars worth of weapons for ISIS to grab in the vacuum of power he created, m16's are just the small stuff.
