See if you can figure out what's wrong with these weapons...

This has been a pretty big story in Alaska over the past few months. Long story short, some "Sovereign Citizens" (AKA: "Shitheads") plotted to kill some State Troopers, a federal judge, and an IRS agent. Anyways, take a look at their high speed kit...

The comp with a can on it? LOL

So, they were going to shoot them with the P-22 until it ran dry and then beat them to death with the dummy grenades?

That's a P-22 with the extended barrel. The "compensator" slots are purely cosmetic.

Some might say that description applies to the P-22 in general. :cool:

Where does it say anything about the grenades being fake?

The article talks about a lot more weapons than the ones shown.

It doesn't. I'm basing my guess on the blue spoons and fuse assemblies and the clearly visible holes in the bottoms of a few of the grenades. They may have intended to rearm them, I suppose.

I can't seem to edit my posts on the iPad I'm using...

I meant to add that I can see that they were milled, but as you noted, that's not much of an obstacle.

I think re-arming grenades is a standard fantasy among fat guys in tiger-stripe camo, but one that doesn't actually happen nearly as often as supposed.

(Safety note to Marty Militiaman: A 209 primer does not have a five-second delay...)

[SLG]

I don't know any fat, tiger stripe wearing guys, so I'll have to defer to you on that:-) I was thinking more about ied's rather than true rearming, but either way, it's not hard to make a metal container blow up. I think they were armed and armored when they were arrested, I doubt they'd be carrying inert grenades, but what do I know. They are nuts, after all.

Well, I don't know what Sovereign Citizen/Militia types wear in the Frozen North; around here they're big on tiger stripes for some reason. Maybe they blend in well in soybean fields? :confused:

I wonder if these were the Turner Diaries-readin' kind, or just the garden-variety Alex Jones type? Anyhow, they sure backed a winner with that Cox guy. :rolleyes:

(And what's up with the semiauto beltfed? Seriously. What tactical niche was that supposed to fill in their little plan? "Here, Fred, you carry the thirty pound deer rifle..." :confused: )

Got a laugh out of that one too.

Note to self: Review the plan to rearm demilled grenades using 209 primers as detonators.... :D
