I'm not a JAG lawyer type, but I did have to take LOAC (law of armed conflict) training every year when I was active duty USAF. Distinction between military targets and non-combatants was always stressed. This doesn't discriminate, not legal.
What happens in 5 years when some of this ammo gets packed into "milsurp" cases and shipped here to buy at a discount. Really makes me a little hesitant about surplus ammo now and slightly sick.
i seen a article where a guy had a really nice m1a and got some old german surplus , it totally fubared his gun, the article said the workers in that plant were still in the nazi frame of mind and would spike some of the ammo with c4.
surplus is surplus from the factory or protected supply depot, not the battle field.
Yes, but how do you think the spiked ammo gets into the rest of the batch? They don't happen accross a crate in the middle of the road and go "Oi! Jamal! We gotta notha' crate!"
It gets snuck into the secure supplies.
How does that happen? If we have such ready access to their secure ammunition caches, why don't we just destroy all of their ammo. I have a feeling we intercept their supply trucks or something.
