AK47 modern in today's conflicts and Q about ARs

[spistols]

I see all of these Hamas pictures and wondering what make/model AK, etc., are they using? They certainly don't look like WASRs to me, so just curious as to what do the bad guys use?

Also, I see photos of the bad guys with AR's. Are they most likely BFU from Afghanistan, or any other place? Or are they clones?

I would guess most of them are Russian AK's sold to Iran then smuggled to Gaza.

The M4's and M16's were definitely provided by Uncle Sam.

I was wondering the same, from what I've been able to see there's a pretty wide variety and a combination of parts. I've even seen a Yugo in the bunch.

Another observation, I saw a video posted by Israeli defense that shows Hamas kidnapping and attacks. It was filmed supposedly from Hamas cameras and GoPros.
The attack seem to be very poorly coordinated on a military standpoint. Possibly this is some kind of subgroup, that is where I saw the variety of weapons...

The M4's and M16's were definitely provided by Uncle Sam.

Not necessarily, 60 countries use the M4 in their Army, and the M4 is manufactured in at least 9 different countries outside of the us including

Canada, China, Brazil, Belgium, Malaysia,Turkey, Phillippines,Georgia and Kenya.

They're iranian guns mostly. They are clones of chinese t56 pattern guns

How many of those countries arm "moderate rebels" like ISIS and alqaeda, or just leave millions of dollars worth in Afghanistan?

The US weapons left behind in Afg are definitely being used in Gaza and other hot spots. Watch for our weapons provided to Ukraine to show up also (sold on Black Market).

Ukraine getting a lot of M4ish weapons too - there is going to be a shortage of 223/5.56 as Ukraine and Israel (and the terrorists) consume all the 223/5.56 available.
