Our Libyan friends have some interesting hardware

Anyone catch this video? http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bes...celebrated.cnn

Terrible gun handling skills aside, did anyone notice what guns were being handled? I think I see:

Well at least the guy with the FAL in the back kept his muzzle up... Did anyone notice the headline? "Human rights groups call for investigation into Gadhafi's death" don't these people have anything to do?

That's really weird. Not the type of weaponry you expect to see in a developing country.

"This civil war brought to you in part by FN Herstal. FN-when you need your dictator dead, give him a 5.7 to the head!"

Libya... and any state facing an insurrection... is prime territory for companies and individuals of certain professions. I'd bet that's where the FN came from (haven't watched the vid).

Actually I believe he was killed with a gold-plated Hi Power. So quite possibly an FN did him in! [LOL]

I saw in some other videos that the gold HiPower was Gadaffi's own. Then again, since they did pull him out of a drain, it could have been used on him.

Exotic hardware all around, in any case.

Yeah, it's hard to get some good info, but I've seen pictures of the guy that they believe killed him and he's holding that gold HiPower.

My guess is he took it from Gadaffi and then shot him with it.
