what happened to his AKS-74U?

It sounds like when bin laden got up he was armed with his pillow and blankie.
This may put the number of firearms held by the world's most wanted man below the Texas average homeowner.
Oh look! Another story!
At this point I don’t know why anyone would believe anything these people say.
It is like fingernails on the chalkboard every time I hear this idiotic misuse of this term by the media. The proper term would be "cache" but that doesn't scare the hoplophobes enough.
An arsenal is a manufacturing or refitting facility for firearms. It is NOT a weapons cache.
Plus, I seriously doubt bin Laden would lower himself to an AK-47. He probably would have the newer AKS-74U, which fires a different caliber round ("bullet" to the hoplophobic media).
I am remembering Saddam's "palaces" and now this and wondering about the taste of those desert dwellers. They build art-deco crap and spend millions doing it. The inside of bin Laden's "mansion" doesn't look much different from the ground outside.
The idiots in the Whitehouse likely don't know the difference between an AK-47 and an AK-74. They probably think the difference is a typo.
The raid took place in the dark of night on a night when there was low moonlight. Therefore, one would assume that it was very dark inside the building.
The SEALS were in all likelihood using night vision goggles and suppressed weapons, therefore the bad guys were downed before they knew what was happening.
Someone somewhere else has posited that the SEALS were briefed to expect that OBL might have a suicide vest on his body. Therefore, they didn't wait for the blinding flash of the vest going off before dropping him. (This makes sense, doesn't it?)
There was no "firefight" but rather a quick assault wherein concussion grenades were used to "prepare" each room for entry before the SEALS went in. This accounts for the twittering guy reporting "explosions" -that and the destruction of the inoperative helo.
There is a huge amount of "shooting from the lip going on. Every politician and "expert" in the world wants to get his/her 15 minutes of fame over this event. The world needs to take a few breaths, not speculate wildly and wait for the true story to come out.
This is the best a terrorist mastermind can do?
I got more in my pantry by the catfood.
So the White House’s 40 minute firefight story turns into a tale of little to no resistance and no one armed and fightin back! Where are the leftist congressmen calling the SEALS murderers and terrorists?? They did that during Haditha, didn’t they??!!! Is the left calling for an investigation or trial for the SEALS??!! After all, they killed UNARMED individuals, just like Haditha, right??!!
Water pistols.
3 rifles and two pistols hardly sounds like an “arsenal”.
3 guns and 2 pistols?
Hell, Ive got more than that in my bedroom!
Has the White house finally got it’s story straight and the All Barack Channel is finally spewing out what they want everyone to believe now?
