    A new video has surfaced which shows how Gaddafi forces entered the town of Az-Zawiyah back in March. The mosque shown in the video was later razed to the ground.

    It's on wikipedia, and I've heard it before on news sites dedicated on venezuela. The factory has a capacity of 50.000 AK-103s a year.

    EDIT2: which makes it kind of a mystery where it comes from, only users are: Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Venezuela and Russia. My best guess is it's from Venezuela because Chavez has a factory there to build them, bought from Russia, and he's best buddies with Gadaffi.
    AK-103 indeed, the small details count AKM out. According to this Libya was going to build a factory to manufacture AK-103 under license. Rifles are possibly from some small pre mass produce batch.

    I was about to say the same thing -it's one of their own fallen back to earth.

    You know the golden rules:
    1. Ghadaffi is a holy man.
    2. Opposition fighters are CIA and MI6 agents/stooges
    No no no they are all the agents of Mossad....and AQ and Satan.

    Why the trolling all the time? Kind of unnecessary.
    I admit it does appear like trolling. I should just state the obvious then. Arms are being supplied to the conflict zone illegally.

    So... Just like every conflict in history then, "illegal" being a somewhat subjective term. Thank goodness the French supplied the colonies with some "illegal" arms & support during the revolution against Britain for my sake anyway.

    Gaddafi apparently started it anyway by using so-called illegal arms against some civilians whilst targeting rebels (note the MAT-120 submunition ordnance below):

    Angry Rebel in newly taken Yefren goes ape on a Gaddaffi Shrine

    Well I haven't got my head stuck up there but I simply read the wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-103
    A manufacturing plant to produce the AK-103 in Maracay is now operational, with a production capacity of 50,000 units per year.
    I suggest you alter the wikipedia page instead of doing off-the-bat insults lol...

    Well, we should only really count weapons smuggled into Libya since the conflict started ...
    I'd say the most obvious weapons are the Qatari Milans...otherwise I really haven't seen much evidence of other stuff brought in. Oh yes, and apparently a Mortar from Qatar...but otherwise the evidence of weapons smuggled into the conflict zone for either side is pretty thin. The 32nd brigade already had the FN-2000 and P90s...they're supposed to have FN Five-Sevens as well to match the P90s but I've seen no pics of those yet.


    My guess is this was a mortar round, but anyone with a better guess?

    Small update:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_...rces#Equipment
    Shows apparently the AK-103 as Libyan army small arms equipment, so Venezuela does not need to be in the picture.
