Never could figure out why, buildings, weapons etc, are not blown or destroyed upon leaving a combat zone. Even our embasey should have been destroyed. That firing pin can be replaced in minutes with todays computer software. Pretty hard replacing weapons after several white PH gernades are throw on it.

"we" the US left all those weapons and armor and equipment to be used by the Afghan security forces and they deserted leaving the arms and equipment for the Taliban
that is how it will be sold any way
I would be very suprised if the firing pins were missing and even if they are that is a simple fix even in a 3rd world country , run a guy over to Pakistan with 1 good firing pin and they will turn him a thousand they may be garbage steel just get 3K and hand them out with every 4th magazine.
for a "simple" people they figured out how to part together AKs of different generations from a pile old parts and be a threat
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

They left people behind, what makes you think they care about equipment? I'm not just talking about this arm pit, Southeast Asia when we pulled out, Turkey when the military took over some of the bases, Iran when the Shah was disposed that I know of, probably many other places I don't know of. I don't know if the people who were left behind were private contractors, or not, if they were then let the company that hired them, get them out. If not then a stone shouldn't be left unturned to get them out, by any force necessary.

I once had a ANSF build an exact replica of the Leatherman tool I carried out of a leaf spring . Another day ,I watched a group completely tear down and move two vehicles that encountered each other on a narrow mountain road . Neither could pass each other , no way one could back up. So that was the solution.
An eight year old boy , in Afghanistan, could churn out those .

So much for trying to lighten to mood.... good luck lightening that mood all any one here is seeing is a guy who should be hanging by the neck until dead , wearing a power tie and spouting nonsense on TV.

Can't believe they are letting them take the high tech weapons to Pakistan like they are.

If I remember correctly, the motor pool guys were trained to pick one vital component and destroy it/render it useless on every vehicle... So you couldn't cannabalize from one to run another.
Of course if you're leaving stuff behind for your "allies" to continue the fight, you don't do that.
As for the meme, they'd have guys fabbing firing pins out of duplex nails by tomorrow.
Personally, I would've pulled a handful of rounds out of each ammo can and made sure the crimps were "good and snug" and put them back in... If all goes well, you destroy the weapon and the trigger-puller all at the same time. Worst case, your enemy has some serious reservations about using all the gear you left behind.

That firing pin can be replaced in minutes with todays computer software. Pretty hard replacing weapons after several white PH gernades are throw on it. I well remember being trained on demolitions in the million dollar hole at Leonard Wood. Willy Pete will melt a go devil jeep block into something that won't move. I doubt they even have willy pete grenades in inventory these days.

Thermite is the choice for destroying material that may be compromised. Trust me on this.
