Dumb question of the day

‘How Did Syria’s Rebels Get This Gun?’

“New YouTube video from the Syrian battlefield shows rebels firing the same high-powered sniper rifle favored by U.S. Navy SEALs, leaving some experts wondering who the ragtag army of insurgents might train the guns on in the future.

“The British-made AS-50, accurate from a distance of 20 football fields, is made for British Special Forces and Navy SEALs. Video showing Syrian rebels, who are aligned with Al Qaeda, firing the guns and shouting ‘Alahu akbar,’ has also raised questions about who is supplying such devastating hardware.”

(Possible answer: There is an international arms market, and maybe somebody bought the rifle from somebody else?)
