Weapons missing from army bases can imply a lot of things.
Paperwork errors with military armories can include weapons taken out of service due to receivers failing armorer's inspection. They may get disassembled for salvagable parts, but the inventory lists were not updated to show destruction.
Of course the 1950s movies showing GIs trading guns for booze or girls are just ... Hollywood.
Today, with ISIS War on Everyone, we hear missing guns in Europe and think first about terrorists.
