#Iraq: The third nay'ah to the new caliph of IS, from IS in Iraq: another considerable photoset. Precise areas (Diyala, Kirkuk, etc) are not revealed, though I have suspicions.
Standard mix of AK variants, M4 Carbine, M16A2/A4, and uncommonly seen Vz. 58 V here. A rural cell.
Another very rural group, I suspect from #Kirkuk. Again no RPG but a collection of common (AK/M16) rifles, plus locally procured AR-15, captured (or sold) ex Iraqi Army Remington R4 and ex Federal Police VHS-D2 bullpups.
Oh, and an AKS-74U. High status cell?
Another cell. If I was to guess, these are some of the guys who have been (attempting...) raids in Kirkuk recently and undertaking highway harassment. First look at PG-7V, plus more wrapped M16A4, PKM (w/ MG-1M barrel), M4. They're hiding some TWS🤌
Another small cell. More M16A4 and AKM.
Someone tell the USG that a late FN M16A4 with serial no. 10355456 has gone walkies in the Anbar badia.
Another three cells. You can guess what I will say.
Note: I remain pretty confident that IS still don't make major use of the local black markets for materiel. Still seems like new plus legacy ghanimah. Peep another AR-15 and M4 though.
More AKMS. Only included this because boy they hate geolocation.
*bay'ah. This is how you know it's me, as I am guaranteed to make a stupid spelling mistake.
