I didn't know this organization ever some of the weapons they are demonstrating in this footage.

They make some weapons too.

Are the IRA still active in Ireland?

Once in a while you see a Weapon that looks like the Norwegian Ag 3. This is a Specialized version of the Heckler & koch Gewher 3, built to an fully automatic weapon. There is a number of these weapons stolen from the N. armed forces that has found its way to the IRA. The caliber is 7.62, 51, and the clip carries 20 rounds. Heavy, cumbersome but a real workhorse! If I ever goes to war, I want one of these.

Propagana!

most of the weapons never got near being used

even though most of them came from the USA

What's the IRA been doing lately, i thought devolution was fixing all of north irelands problems these days.

Quite romantic until it's children dying in the streets rather than soldiers.

The same is true with all terrorists.

And soldiers involved in battlé near civilians or against civilians.

The British troops in this film were still carrying the FN rifle thatt went out of use over twenty years ago, and much of that footage was about 40 years old. Now lets pose a question, if the IRA started up again do you think that America would support Britain if they they started to bomb Dublin and other Irish cities like the the Israelis are doing at the moment in their part of the world.
