Not a good thing. I was in a smallish and dorky National Guard unit and we had in our armory enough M16A12 rifles* for a battalion (I counted them several times doing NCO duty but won't reveal actual numbers), a rack of 9mm pistols, a couple each of m240 and m249 machine guns, a couple of Ma Duece and a belt feed 40mm grenade launcher machine gun. Also, a variety of crypto devices, radios and GPS gizmos of various ages.
Ammunition and explosives are never stored in the armory.
A Reserve unit weapons inventory would include the same variety of weapons but the rifles might be M4 carbines if the unit has deployed and been issued new weapons by Big Army to replace the Vietnam era "muskets" older NG units deploy with.
The armory weapons safe (room) at all the armory buildings I've seen is plenty secure, and that's the scary bit. Getting those weapons would not involve tossing a brick through a window and looking around for them. Knowledge specific to the site would be required to know where the weapons room is and how to get in. Brute force could defeat some but not all, going through the wall. The door is unlikely to yield to anything other than massive effort or inside info, so going around it would be easiest.
Inside job, former soldiers is my first guess.
*my rifle actually had the strike through and overstamp - it was built by GM Hydramatic Division in the year my wife was born and was converted by army armorers in the late 70s or early 80s.

It was not immediately clear how many or what type of weapons were taken. FBI spokeswoman Kristin Setera said the agency had no indication that the missing weapons were connected to terrorism. |
