M1 Garand? What m1 would the navy have?

And to think I was worried about the grenades...
Sooooooo, elephant in the room time. Have these been acquired by terrorists or your garden variety gang bangers/ATM bombers/CIT guys? I'm supposing no-one can know for certain but I'd hate to be in a mall when the terrorists bring along 72 grenades. Or at an open air event and the M1 is used to supplement the firework display.

Re: Mil firearms theft in Simonstad.
They stole a MORTAR? Yikes. Do they have mortar rounds to go with, is what I am wondering.

Re: Mil firearms theft in Simonstad.
Note that the M1 mortar thing is an assumption by me. It might be shoddy reporting and just be an R1 as well, but if they did take a mortar that would be quite nasty.

Seen a screenshot of an Afrikaans newspaper somewhere, might be Bookface. The sentence reads something like "...R1 en M1 aanvalsgewere". So they refer to it as an assault rifle which is obviously wrong. It might be *anything*. Browning, Thompson, Garand, 30 carbine, etc etc. Granted a lot of those options aren't likely but hey, maybe your guess is correct. In that event, let's hope that the 72 grenades isn't in fact mortar ammunition!
