Many AR-15's are chambered for .45,9mm and .22. As far as "wierd bad guy weapons", I haven't come across much. I will say that it's important to be on the lookout for "credit card companions", which are a credit card sized multi-tool with a small knife and other utility tools.

ya know the part you use to screw up your deoderant.... I have seen a pretty good shank made of that!

I know that corrections/jail staff come across some creative stuff for sure.  But, someone told me that that AK chambered for .223 was scarce and very valuable.  Anyone know about this?  Also, there has been a lot of very valuable antique guns nabbed on different cases in our general area.  Things like a mint condition M1 Garand and a Thompson complete with 100 round drum etc. are just a couple.

I was shown a quarter the other day that had been made razor sharp on one side of the quarter and left the same on the other.  The offender can hold the quarter or have it in their pocket and it looks and feels just like you would expect it too.  Even if someone was holding it you would never think about it unless you had previous knowledge.  I would have never thought about it.  The person that had it explained that it was a throw away weapon and that it was just used to make a deep cut on a face, neck, or any exposed skin area.  Be Safe Brothers and Sisters......Watch Their Hands......Lee

PS:  Make sure to tell any officer that you know of this potentially deadly weapon.......Thanks....

  We had an officer assualted with a chicken one night.  The lady smacked him upside the head with a whole, raw chicken.

LMAO. Well it's not funny because anything can be used as a weapon now days. But.....................................it is a little funny.

I've come across people carrying hammers, tire irons, small pry bars etc...... becaue they are not illegal to conceal on your person. But, it can be used as a deadly weapon.

It's alot funny.  Even more so if you know the guy.  He is always getting hit with something weird.

That is indeed a lot funny... oh the things that have been dreamed up by criminals... could fill albums with em...

Just like in the movie "The Rock".  Connery's character flattens a portion of a quarter to fit a screw head.  Different use and size but same concept.  A couple more hits and it could be used as a razor, in fact if i remember correctly he used it to cut a circle into the glass to weaken it for a hit.  Yes, I know, all Hollywood but some truth has to be there to make something outlandish plausable.

Shouldn't this topic be in a restricted forum?  Just saying...

 

Just a note, you may be right, however most of this has been in a movie or on TV (Mythbusters).  Also in the American Rifleman (NRA) as an add for sales of weapons.  I think this is just a friendly reminder to watch your 6

  We looked a little wierd towing it to the range behind a patrol unit.

Let me guess, no one tired to overtake the patrol car.
