Guns Recovered at Branch Davidian Compound Guide

Extra -- The following is from a "Memorandum to the Press"
issued by Chris Peacock, Treasury Department Director of Public Affairs on July 13, 1995
showing a list of all firearms, explosives, and related material seized by Federal law enforcement officers
following the April 19, 1993 assault on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas.

SUBJECT: Weapons Possessed by the Branch Davidians In total, the Texas Department of Public Safety, led by the Texas Rangers, recovered more than 300 firearms from the Branch Davidian compound. In addition, a number of live grenades and more than 300 grenade components were uncovered.

Hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition were also seized. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms investigated David Koresh for conduct involving: the illegal manufacture of machine guns and the illegal manufacture and possession of destructive devices. The FBI report provides evidence that the Davidians' arsenal did indeed include weapons unlawfully manufactured. The weapons listed include semiautomatic firearms illegally modified to fire in full automatic mode, as well as grenades and silencers. All of these weapons were unlawfully possessed.

I hope you find these documents useful as you review Treasury's report on ATF's role in events at Waco. /center>

ILLEGAL WEAPONS RECOVERED

Machine guns
The FBI determined that 46 semiautomatic firearms had been modified to fire in full automatic mode:
22 M-16 Type Rifles 20 AK-47 Type Rifles 2 Heckler and Koch SP-89 2 M-11/Nine

The FBI also determined that two AR-15 lower receivers had been modified to fire in full automatic mode.

Silencers
21 Sound suppressors or silencers

Hand Grenades

The possession of lawfully manufactured machineguns, silencers, or grenades requires the owner to register the weapon with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms. None of the compound's residents were registered to own such a weapon, therefore it would have been illegal for them to possess these weapons.
