Soldier arrested after C-4 explosives found - Page 2

Agents also found a 5.56mm caliber rifle and a .45 caliber machine gun inside his home

From the article

My guess would be a 5.56 rifle (m16) and a .45 caliber machine gun (mac 10, thompson similar)

I read in another site that one rifle was a 5.56 with barrel shorter than 16" and the other was an automatic Swedish K.

That would make sense.

I'd guess maybe an M4 and whatever the .45 was. I'd think NFA items either way.

Or, liberal media spin.

Coin toss, could be either...

We still had some M-3's in service during GW1, that's the only one I can think of it being. As I understand it, those (along with several other weapons) were replaced by the M-4's.

Sounds like the Special Forces at Ft. Campbell have a side business. Ok. Which one of you is buying this stuff?

Lol, ".45 caliber machine gun", all I can think of is a UMP or a Thompson.

Sound's like a liberal leftist to me.

Did I miss something? How did the "hunters" "stumble" onto it? It must have been a considerable distance from his house for it to be discovered, otherwise is there a trespassing charge here? Did they say he didn't have NFA for the hardware?

For being in the special forces, seems to me that he would have had thought out a better concealment/storage situation. Knowing that what he had would get him in trouble, it doesn't appear alot of thought went into his plan. I hope he is not the "norm" as to smarts in the special forces.

I maybe heard stories about back forty caches in my day but those always were whispered to have been buried deep on public land with 10 digit grid coordinates.
