Alan Johnston’s kidnappers — American? Discuss
18 June 2007
Neil will say it but doesn’t want to use his own server space to post about things of interest because he is a natural born troll. Here is the latest. You know that news about Alan Johnston’s kidnappers threatening to kill him if their demands aren’t met? Neil says the weapons the Army of Islam (all masked, why are those doing Allah’s work so afraid to reveal themselves?) were carrying are M-16s, not AK-47s, which are apparently the rifle of choice (AK-47s are more deadly or something). AK-47s are Russian and easily available.
The M-16 is American.
(Slightly worrying amount of detail in this M-16 vs. AK-47 comparison page.)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
(I don’t actually know if they were carrying M-16s, Neil was 100% positive they were, so if I’m wrong, he’s wrong.)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hamas has been criticized by Fatah for getting support from the U.S. I guess some of that support could be weapons.
Playing the Playstation too much will tend to get you familiar with the differences between weapons. ;)

No, I think Neil just likes guns.

Yes, Neil just likes guns. Neil's family also makes guns, but that's another story.
The little comparison site that's linked to seems to be mainly saying "the M16 is better 'cos it's american – and if you don't agree… well you should!"
