DHS Downgrades Coast Guard Sailors to Faulty Weapons

If a day of the week ends with the letter Y, then you can be assured that the Department of Homeland Security has made a purchase of either ammunition, explosives, overpriced bagpipes, or firearms.

Well, this time it’s firearms.

But not any kind of firearms, we’re talking a rifle that is scary looking and under performs. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center requested the purchase of fourty Colt M4 Carbines to replace the existing inventory of M16 service rifle at the Coast Guard Military Law Enforcement Academy rifle training center.

This is EXACTLY what they want:

COLT M4 CARBINE MODEL R0920,

• 3-round bursts; removable carrying handle;
• 5.56×45 NATO (.223 rem.);
• Weight 6.11 lbs (2.771 kg);
• Overall length (stock retracted) 29.8 in. (75.69 cm);
• Overall length (stock extended) 33 in. (83.82 cm);
• barrel length 14.5 in. (35.56 cm);
• Rate of fire 700-950 rpm; rifling 1/7 rh;
• Effective range 600 m.

And when they described the needs, they redacted the requesting official’s information, “Description of Supplies/Services”, and signatures to hide the responsible persons requesting the purchase from the American public. See below images.
