Comment: From the good guys at Borderland Beat. ( http://www.borderlandbeat.com )
Much more info in this one. Several good photos, additional details, etc. The gold plated AK included.
No mention so far on origin of these weapons, some earlier accounts claimed they were Russian.

If actually Russian, they could likely be real AK's, not the semi-auto clones available in the U.S.
Should the Russian source be correct, it will be very significant. Not to mention troubling.
Another possibility? From Venezuela?
RPG's are a whole other problem.
Thx
