I remember after 9/11 all the troops (whether National Guard or regular army, I do not know) were around lower Manhattan and at Grand Central Terminal. When I saw them, I thought their guns didn't look real; looked like they were made of plastic (of course, I didn't ask them :) ). Can anyone verify if M16s, or whatever they were carrying, would look like plastic, even if real?
I was going back and forth to NYC after 9/11, I had family down there. I would take the train in from New Haven to Grand Central. I did make a point to thank the soldiers, the guns looked real to me, and I walked right up to them. They were bored beyond belief, poor guys. They did appreciate the gratitude.

I remember flying into Omaha soon after and the airport was filled with soldiers carrying guns.
