Nailbomb 10,221 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I can see what your talking about, but the one in the 2nd pic dosn't look shop'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 i am going to say it does not look photoshopped to me. i do photography and photoshop a lot. i blew the image up in my shop. the corner of the buttstock is hidden behind the receiver of the ak on its side. at the distance and with the overfill of light crushing all shadow. it is just an optical misnomer in the image that makes the two guns look merged.

GregM1 241 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 this quote is from the metadata stored inside the image. "Residents look at weapons confiscated by police and displayed in a suburb in Medellin June 8, 2009. At least 55 rifles and 141 cartridges were confiscated by members of the police during a raid on a local criminal gang known as Los Paisas in Taraza Antioquia provice.

Vultite 57 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 it doesn't look right, how would a unconverted saiga stand like that anways without flopping from one side to the other? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 it doesn't look right, how would a unconverted saiga stand like that anways without flopping from one side to the other? They've got it affixed to a stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fiver 1 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 This picture is not shopped, I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kendo671 1 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 not sure about the photoshop part, there another pic with the steyr on display and the saiga laying down next to it, and the comments added by saiganoobie are hilarious! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n102788 6 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 So 55 Aks and only 141 rounds? So not even three rounds for each gun?? Yep the police sure could have been in for a long 30 sec shoot out.. Damn it, you posted about the pathetic amount of ammo before I could. 141 rounds is nothing!! Rifles of any kind can't do shit without ammunition, (besides being used as decent clubs). It said 141 mags of different calibers, that would make alot more sence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smith 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 they look like surplus junk to me but I'm no expert. most are missing cleaning rods, one with the safety on backwards, one missing bolt, carrier etc.. the AUG looks like its seen better days. the short barrel Galil is pretty cool though.

Those guns were owned and operated by criminals, not military troops. No discipline among the criminals to keep up with cleaning rods, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yeah looks like they have probably all seen better days. Probably smuggled in from overseas on a container ships and the like, that would explain a lot of the rust on them. Thats one thing you can always count on. No matter what law is out there, someone has the means and the low morals to give the bad guys all the guns they need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) That's a Saiga all right along with AKMs and Galils. I wish I would have found them first, especially the ammo. GregM1: PLEASE DON'T INSULT GILLIGAN. He was bumbling while the half donkey Obama is pure evil! Gilligan was NOT a Muslim either, he made us laugh while this Arab will make our lives difficult.

Reverendfranz 160 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 A bit late, but i do love this comic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOPMOD 254 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) AFter looking at the Saiga in that picture, it does look photoshopped in! Look at the tip of the but area. It's laying on the table beside the Galils and Bulgys in another pic but I wonder how many of the guns on the news supposedly being captured form the Mexican Cartels are actually props or US government property? I saw lot's of Military and LE Only markings and sear pins on those "AR15s" and I don't know any US sporting good store selling them like that in this day and age. Columbia makes their own Galils under license from IWI now by the way Edited July 19, 2009 by SOPMOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 i saw this the other day. its about a gun confiscated in mexico that was purchased by an El Paso FBI agent. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/6529270.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nexus 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Let's not forget how these cartels work. They pay off the police and they are chartered by the government. You think he government, the only entity with the legal right to impose itself on anyone and act freely isn't in on the nation's largest industry? A bust is essentially a layoff and a confiscation happens when goods are being phased out. Maybe they just got a fresh shipment of mint 103s from Chavez? Who knows.

KLIKOMAN 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Damn those guns are sweet, speacially those galil's both SAR and AR version under the saiga. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Anybody notice those are all relatively new Bulgarian Type 3 AKs? Which one of you bas****s sent all those nice guns south of the border? Good call Nalioth. Aside from the steyr we've got some Bulgarian, Yugo, Russian and Isreali goodness there... Actually, I would like to get my hands on one of the 7.62x39 Galils! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
