A jihadi boasted on his Telegram Messenger account about confiscating an assault riffle that he alleged was given to the Free Syrian Army by Israel and taken by the Islamic State in battle:

“A customised AK47 made in Israel. Given to FSA as a gift. Taken by Dawlah (the State) as Ghaneemah (spoils.) Jihad is so fun alhamdulillaah. Go around killing kafirs (non-Muslim) taking their stuff. It's a dream job, lol.”

Abu Sa-eed Al-Britani, 27, a British Jihadi named Omar Hussain from High Wycombe in the U.K., also known as the “Supermarket Jihadi,” because he used to work in the British supermarket Morrisons, left Europe in January 2014 to go fight in Syria, he wrote about his Jihadi journey.

One whole riffle?

Cats strapped with explosives? Good luck with that you bearded bozos.

Riffles are huge! Worse - when it is a whole riffle things really blow up good!

Enjoy Hell, Abu Sa-eed Al-Britani. You seem intent on getting there falling for the Devil’s lies.

Reminds me of Stalin's orders that all Soviet arms would use ammunition slightly larger than the equivalent German ammunition. That way the Soviets could use captured German ammunition in their guns (loose, but it would work), but the Germans couldn't use captured Soviet ammunition, as it was slightly too big to fit. Maybe we ought to be doing that with arms we supply to various allied groups. Once opponents use up the ammo captured with the gun, they don't have any other supply.

The German Mauser Karabiner 98 rifle round was 7.92X57mm while their MP40 submachine gun and Luger P08 & Walther P38 pistol rounds were 9mm.
The Soviets standardized their tooling to 7.62 for their Tokarev pistol & the `shock troops’ PPSh submachine gun (both 7.62X25) and as well the standard Mosin Nagant infantry rifle (7.62X54).
Later the G_dless communists shortened the same caliber to 7.62X39 for Kalashnakov’s derivative of the German Sturmgewehr StG44 (which was also shortened to 7.92X33 kurz): the Automat Kalashnakov 1947, AK 47.

Gee, they finally found out what Israel was doing to defeat ISIS and Al Qaeda and Hezbollah and Iran.

Smart ones these ISIS Nazis are.

The next time one of these fighters picks up an AK-47 off the battlefield it may be booby-trapped. “Surprise, surprise”.

One rifle. Customized AK47? Probably talking about Galil which borrows features from the AK but doesn't really look much like it. Israel probably still has large numbers of AK 47s captured over the years. They provided former PLO AKs to Afghan rebels in the 80s at Reagan's request since they wouldn't trace to the US. Probably something like that, "customized" meaning almost anything.
