Would someone doing a "job" like this use their personal car....or a stolen one?
This isn't exactly a brains kind of operation here, methinks.

The FBI says there is no link to terrorism and no public threat.
Naw, somebody just stole some pistols and machine guns for a laugh.
And they aren't sure who did it, but they know it wasn't terrorists.
So.. question.. when guns are stolen from the army.. they are "Semi auto"? Per news.
Interesting that every revolver and bolt gun confiscated from civilians are machine guns.
Now, serious question... It is a military facility. Even if the went through the roof to get to the goodies... Don't .mil facilities have people on guard duty at all times?
... Last I knew the National Guard kept the bolts to the rifles at the local Police Station or State Police Barracks.
That was another thought I had, was a "good guy" prepping for inevitable. I don't know what the "long guns" consisted of, and praying not the heavy squad automatic types. Worries me that there is more than enough missing to equip 5-8 two man strike teams that can wreak serious mayhem. France had what, 4 two man teams?
And they aren't sure who did it, but they know it wasn't terrorists.
I think they have a short list of suspects.
The media is definitely too dumb to keep their yaps shut until the proper time.
I may be giving too much credit to their intelligence but I have a feeling that they know exactly who did it but is tracking them to bigger fish. Hopefully they don't pull a Holder.
The thing that doesn't add up is; the risk these guys ran doesn't come close to the reward, at least not with what they are reported to have gotten away with. If they were after the guns, they would have been better off hitting a gun store. Sure they got some M4's, but big deal. All that does is turn a 30 round mag into a 10 round mag. Besides, who would be in the market for a RED HOT M4, when they could build an untraceable one from a jig and 80% paper weight? Now, if they got away with one of those little things that puts the crypto in the military radios.... That would be worth a good deal of money to the right buyers.

The news tonight, boston channel 4, said the 6 rifles were semi autos and the 10 pistols were sig M11's
When the feds give them the story written down already?Since when does the media know the difference between semi auto and full?
Sadly, no squad automotics, which would be M249 SAW's. They took M4's, which are much more effective than the M249 ever is.
Yeah, I used to annually end up helping run my battalion's machine gun range, usually ended up in the tower, running the computer that ran the pop-up targets. Several times I've seen a couple of guys with M4's whipping the crap out the M240 performance, at 800 meters. With both ACOG's and CC)'s (Aimpoint red dots). And, I was in 3/172 Mountain Infantry, so these weren't just regulars guys that also carried M249's, these were infantry guys and that was their primary jobs (the M249 guys that is, some of the M4 guys were mechanics or recovery guys).
When does military get semi only ars?
I would take a saw in a heartbeat, with a side of extra barrel too. Today's saw is not what it used to be 30 years ago.I've spent several years in the infantry active duty and several more in the guard. I'm still in. I'd have to say your soldiers need more training on their crew served weapons if riflemen are more effective at 800m.
I didn't like the saw when it was first fielded. It's much improved.

They're three round burst or semi by use of the selector switch.
