Texas couple finds fully automatic military-grade M16s in storage cases purchased online [View all]
A couple in Houston recently discovered a number of fully automatic M16s inside gun storage cases they bought from an online government surplus store.
The couple has a business where they buy surplus items and resell them on eBay, which is why they purchased the 108 storage cases.
According to ABC13, a friend helped to stack and store the cases over the weekend so the couple gave that person one of the cases as a thank you.
When the person opened the case, he discovered 12 fully-automatic M16s inside. The weapons are designed specifically for military use only.
All the weapons had tags that designated the military branch and names of service members who had previously handled the weapons, ABC13 reported.
Retired Houston police captain and former Marine Greg Fremin said the military carefully tracks all of its weapons because any misplaced weapons can be extremely dangerous.
