Iraqi confiscated “weapons”

I got a really good laugh from these photos. The caption is:

Iraqi soldiers display confiscated weapons and ammunition at a Military base in Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, Iraq, 08 September 2008, following a military operation in the outskirts of the city

Now look at the weapons:

If I had this kind of junk I would pay them to remove it. The officer pictured above, a Captain, seems impressed enough to take a photo. Maybe they are moonlighting as Garbage removal professionals ;)

    Interesting cammo pattern the guys are wearing in the first picture. Haven’t seen that before. It’s like the ABU only truly digicam.

    22lr, I also thought one looked like an air rifle. Those sneaky terrorists, no one would suspect an air “assault” rifle ;)
