Did a pork-coated bullet kill Bin Laden? Yes, says firm who claim its pig fat gun oil is bought by U.S. military personnel

Dubious: Osama bin Laden 'was killed by a pork-soaked bullet, if one rather shady website, that peddles gun oil containing pig fat, is to be believed

Was Osama bin Laden shot with a bullet soaked in pork fat, denying him a place in paradise?

Yes, if one rather shady website, that peddles gun oil containing liquefied pig fat, is to be believed.

The makers of Silver Bullet Gun Oil claim it contains 13 per cent USDA liquefied pig fat thus making the product 'a highly effective counter-Islamic terrorist force multiplier.'

The apparent owner of the gun oil site, who goes by the name 'The Midnight Rider,' explains how the pig fat will transfer onto anything the bullet strikes.

This 'effectively denies entry to Allah's paradise to an Islamo-fascist terrorist,' Rider adds.

The oil, which costs $8.95 for 4oz, apparently puts the 'fear of death into them (terrorists)'.

In Islam consumption of pork is forbidden, but the Quran also states that if one is forced to consume the meat then they are guiltless and therefore not disqualified from paradise.

The website also notes its customers include members of the U.S. military.

'Thousands of bottles of Silver Bullet Gun Oil have been distributed since July of 2004 by its creator to members of ALL U.S. Military branches,' it claims.


Product: The website claims its Silver Bullet Oil is popular with members of the U.S. military


Claim: The oil distributors make their Bin Laden claim in a promotional video on YouTube

A promotional YouTube video for the oil shows a picture of Bin Laden and the claim: 'Killed with a weapon using Silver Bullet Gun Oil'.

'Midnite Rider' also known as 'Warrior of YAHWEH,' claims to be a former Marine scout sniper on the site.

Pictures of the 'production line' show a masked men wearing regulation Marine camouflage uniform, that is officially off-limits for civilians.

A disclaimer on the website also reads: 'This product is for use on armed Muslim terrorists only.
'We do not promote discrimination against any race or religion, only terrorists.'
A spokesman for the U.S. Army's weapons-procurement command told the Southern Pverty Law Center's Hatewatch - a not-for-profit that monitors the evolving problem of online bigotry - that he was unfamiliar with Silver Bullet, 'though he conceded that a soldier or marine could theoretically purchase the oil on his or her own and use it on the battlefield.'

Whatever works I guess...  Jigsaw had a pretty scary looking pigs head mask in one of the later SAW movies.  Imagin what THAT would do!  





If the propoganda works...  USE IT!

Sounds like BS marketing to me...

This 'effectively denies entry to Allah's paradise to an Islamo-fascist terrorist,' Rider adds.

In Islam consumption of pork is forbidden, but the Quran also states that if one is forced to consume the meat then they are guiltless and therefore not disqualified from paradise.

These two statements are in conflict with each other. I would think that getting shot in the head qualifies as "forced to consume".
Makes for a nice sentiment though.

Who would pay extra for pig fat soaked bullets when cheaper ones would do just as well.

 A rumor (presumably started by Russian agents ) that the then new bullets being issued to British and India Company troops were lubed with pig fat was the final spark to the 1857 Sepoy mutiny by Indian Muslim troops against British rule.
"Cartridges" of the day required troops to bite the end off then pour the powder down the barrel. The "mutiny" began when Muslim troops refused to load the new cartridges into their rifles, despite official assurances they were in fact lubed with mutton tallow.
Oddly enough the mutineers showed no reluctance to load the ammunition for use against Europeans.

Question: the type of projectile that would have killed Osama, presumably would have been a copper jacketed bullet of some kind. So why was there a need for lubrication?
Even if one was to oil the action of a firearm, it shouldnt transfer on to the bullet or in the mag unless you use a heap and then you would risk a malfunction. Even if one oiled the barrel you would use a patch and remove all but the bare trace amount.
Pork soaked bullet my left nut.

Indeed. Somehow I doubt that OBL was complaining about the brand of lube. I think his larger concern was the three 9mm rounds in his head (assuming an MP-5).

Another aspect of this is that if you do feel that using pig fat bullets will make some kind of difference in the eternal fate of Muslim terrorists killed with them, you have conceded that the tenets of Islam that address this issue are true.

Who cares? Crap article in my opinion. Osama Bin Laden is dead and that is all that is relevant. No reason to spur on more anger due to using pork products to harvest muslim terrorists.
