From a brief mention in the local paper at the time--Letterkenny Army Depot in southcentral PA was storing in some of its igloos captured weapons from our excursion in Grenada--AK's and lots of ammo. Supposedly it was to be destroyed. My thought was that in the Twilight universe it would be really handy if this relatively insignificant clump of munitions was forgotten in the hurly-burly of the onset of hostilities.
The locals might have gotten curious/desperate to arm themselves, and what should they come upon but an arsenal courtesy of the Soviet Union and Uncle Sam.
