Souvenirs

[hc00]

I remember reading somewhere that while on operations if you take something off someone (e.g. a gun off a surrendering/dead insurgent in iraq) your allowed to keep it (and in the case of the gun have it deactivated)

Is that true or would it be regarded as stealing, which is what I thought it would be?

Unfortunately I cant remember where I read it.

Everyone was robbing mega obvious thinks so i thought i would get some diffrent only trouble was i had to take it every where with me i found a way to dismantle it and hide it in the pinz in a position i new they would never look.

There was an op plunder before we left Iraq so all gizets had to be handed in especialy weapons but personaly i dont understand why you would want an AK on your wall above the mantle- peice.

I know of a certain unit known as the '40' thieves well know also in military police circles as the 'Hydrolics' who would come away from an Operation with more gear than they went in with??. Aye jr

I was just thinking that It would be a good secondary income, people pay alot for deactivated guns, so get 2 or 3 with no expense to yourself, sell them for 2-3 hundred each (or even 1 hundred) and youve got a decent bit of spare change.

Also other stuff you could find could come in handy or be valuable so £££
