DAMN, one of the pictures showed a FN F2000.

The Libyan conflict: Brought to you in part by Toyota trucks

Toyota trucks have been used as weapon platforms in almost all african conflicts since the mid 80s to early 90s; it was the decisive element in the Chadian victory over Gaddafi's forces in the Toyota War(http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...921683,00.html).

wow, looks like some of the forces they are fighting are well enough equipped...

Wow the Libyans are crazy. And that FN 2000 is bad ass!

They seem very well organized, equipped, and have a lot of know how.

The guy who got the F2000 must be feeling really lucky hehehe

The recoiless rifle in one shot still has the US info plate on it m40a2 dated 1977 Inspected 1978 notice that the rebel weapons all have english instructions and the guys are running around with FN like Canada used to use, and new rifles like the FN 2000. The Toyota Hilux thats not around in North America but very common in the Common Wealth.

This one is an instant CLASSIC :) ....hahahahahahahaha LOFL!

very powerful pictures, good find

(do any of the armoured cars they put together remind anyone else of the deathrace movies?)

Kinda reminds me of Permal...

it IS Permal... have you seen him round lately?

Rhino...

He didn't look very round there though...

That picture can't be Permal though... he's not wearing his 'The Bay' tag, and he never takes that thing off.

Team Speak agrees, that's definately Permal

guess the forces who follow Qaddafi are allowed to purchase their own weapons.

Nice pictures, I didnt know that Fabrique Nationale was selling weapons to Qaddafi forces ...

from Wiki

Good to know for me, I bought a great shape '99 Toyota 4Runner last month! :)

Still love the guy sitting in the office chair shooting at a Libyan aircraft, totally hilarious, takes the word "Chairsofter" to the next level!!!

During the Rwandan civil war Belgian peacekeepers stopped a shipment of guns from coming in and lo and behold it was FN Herstal who supplied them.

Business is business.

looking at this you got to admit, these guys can be pretty creative with a workshop full of tools. If I was in need of some metalwork, I would definitely ask these guys.

We didn't see any in those pics but in video footage on TV, I saw a shitload of G36 taken from "loyal forces"... They sure had diversity in their weaponry.

Yep I Agree, there was a shitload of G36's Taken from Gahdaffi's Private Place or somethin like that but heh, looks like they got something newer than their G3's from H&K ;)

I am chairsofting for the month of august, been watching ponies and playing video games since rhino.
