Where the Syrian rebels really get their weapons from

Syrian rebels 'buying arms from the regime'

The Syrian regime may be their sworn enemy, but rebels fighting to bring down President Bashar al-Assad say they pay hard cash to government agents for guns and bullets. For Syria's plethora of armed opposition groups, obtaining weapons is a constant struggle. Furious with the West for failing to provide heavy weaponry, they say they have little choice but to line Assad's coffers.

Not a big surprise really. Chechens were open about where they got their weapons from as well; Russian soldiers. It seems when you take a bunch of kids and throw them into a war they don't wanna fight while at the same time under paying them, well, they might choose to make the best of the situation in a way that's not exactly in tune with the overall objective.
