I found this to be amusing:

Now for the juicy bit: Some of these weapons were actually stolen from military bases in Japan.

Apparently, some of the JSDF and US military bases in Japan had a "few" (that's an understatement) weapons and supplies stolen or missing from their bases and depos. Only found one "official" report in wikipedia, viewable here (its in moonrunes tho).

A 2ch user recalls "in detail" some unreported incidents about stolen equipment. Some of the stuff stolen was a pair of 9mm pistols, a light machine gun, a few anti-tank rockets, a number of mortars and a large unknown number of flash bangs, grenades and explosive crates. This includes 6 "surface-to-ship" missiles in Gunma prefecture that went "missing" (Sound familiar?).

These accusations are, of course, "speculah" as there's no official report of such dangerous weaponry ever gone missing from the JSDF's stockpile (its not like they're gonna admit we "misplaced" a few of our lethal weapons anyway). But when there's smoke, there's fire (and I love a good conspiracy)

But one does have to wonder if the rumors of stolen weapons inspired their appearance in the series, and if the cause of them was due to a certain time traveler...

I dont know if to laugh or cry. Ok, I will laugh --Mutopis 10:12, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
