DIY Weapons of the Libyan Rebels.

For the past four months in Libya, rebel forces made up of civilians and army defectors have been waging battles against Muammar Qaddafi's armed forces, holding their own and sometimes advancing with the assistance of NATO air strikes. Scrambling to arm themselves against mercenaries and a professional army, rebels have been making use of everything they can -- from using captured weapons and munitions to rigging anti-aircraft guns and aircraft rocket launchers to the backs of civilian pickup trucks. Collected here are recent images of some of this weaponry used by the Libyan rebels.

Sorry but, they would have been crushed without the UNITED STATES. Even some dude from the US told NATO off because we've been always doing more than 50% of the entire workload, and some folks who do agree with us, end up doing nothing.

Every country over there needs to thank us for assisting in their oppression.

I agree with you but, also we ended up being the most hated country in the world. But like some say "****'em where they live!" US military kicks *** (don't care about political reasons) They just do what they are told to do and get the job done.

The guy in the office chair shooting a FAL


They should market that kind of chair... "Anti-aircraft office chair", now with flame retardant materials.
