I thought the 7.62 round was no loner used, being superseded by the 5.56, or am I mistaken?

The 7.62x51mm round is still very much in use. For GPMG's, marksmens and sniper rifles.

Not only are they low-lifes for stealing war materials but they are not very smart

Stealing 16,528 pounds of stuff to sell for $78,838 only nets $4.77 per pound. Thats a lot to steal at 5 bucks per.

Five bucks per pound with a risk of 30+ years in prison does not make a good business case to me.

Glad these guys were caught and if guilty, I hope they spend a lot of time in prison. Not only for betraying our country in wartime but for being stupid.

Stealing war materials while your country is fighting a war..... That is just wrong

They'll do about 5 & 10yrs respectively.
