Most of the arm dealers selling illegal M-16s or whatever, "pick-up/trophy" arms in the black market are either active or former military guys. I suppose there's a certain machoism and monetary gain when illegal arms are sold.

The M16A1 has been produced in a number of countries, including those in Asia (South Korea, Singapore), and large numbers were left behind in Vietnam, and who knows where they've ended up from there?
