Boston Bombers had an m4 carbine

[railbird]

How did they find an M4 and how did he shoot himself in neck if he was unarmed in the boat?

Beginning to sound like he was barely conscious in the boat and they blasted the hell out of him. Given they frequency of which the two dwits liked to throw explosive devices probably not a bad approach.

I was hearing on live radio that the cops threw 8-10 flashbangs at him. Sheer overkill. Sounded to me at the time that the cops were looking to execute him on the spot rather than arrest him.

What part of this picture shows an m4? please enlighten us. I would venture to say it clearly looks like a pistol. Both arms are extended in and his stance shows a comfortable pistol form.

I agree, it's a pistol stance. From a nonzoomed view it could be an M4, but then you notice how far out his hands are from his body.

Reports are now saying they had one 9mm pistol between them.

And maybe a small WMD hidden in his ass? Don't underestimate these guys.

Check out the video of the flashbangs;

Yep, brutal. It seems to me that throwing bombs designed to incapacitate people is not the best way to get somebody out of the boat, it being difficult to leave the boat when made stunned and deaf by those very same bombs. Usually flash-bangs are used to stun opponents while a gun team rushes up to control the area, not as a primary assault weapon.

Watching that video it looks like he has an M4 at the end and points it towards his own neck. It is the dark artifact over his white body in the last few seconds of the clip. It looks like he moves the weapon from right a standard ready position to pointing at his neck.

what video player did you use? I am unable to play.

 

[phx223]

On an iPhone, but I think it's a YouTube video.

 

[phx223]

It's a single still from a few seconds of what looks like weapon movement consistent with pointing an m4 type rifle at yourself.

Not wearing tin foil, but very curious as to why they are saying he was unarmed after they said he was armed and this video lends to the fact that he was armed. Maybe the rifle was on the boat deck and not in his hands when they boarded the boat? With the demand for any piece of news, that often comes about from the telephone game, I'm not surprised by story inconstancies at all, but this one is strange to say the least.

How the hell do you get from an M-4 was recovered on the boat and he shot first, to he was unarmed...

"You must only believe what we're telling you now"

It's how Sheikh Barry-o al Hawai'i runs things...

I think what looks like a rifle is actually the plastic cover waving in the breeze in such a way that it is visible in the thermal imaging. I originally thought the same thing. (I assume you are referring to the last second of the tape.)

And, once again, we need to rely on UK news for our information...........

 

[teratos]

The probably had a Colt marked M4 and filed down the firing pin to make it full auto.

That is very clearly not a rifle in the screen cap you have there, it moves nothing like one in the video.
