Dogmatix Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The “weapon of war” automatic rifle looks home made with a butt stock made of steel struts. I wonder if it fires. Doesn’t really seem a big haul from the whole of the South and why do the cops need a special crackdown to go after criminals? Isn’t it their everyday job? I would guess they could have collected more drugs, illegal weapons and ammunition by doing a thorough search of Koh Tao alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
