question for DC residents

[captcalhoun]

this may be a complete dumbass question, but does anyone know if any military equipment's actually kept at the DC Armory?

only, I'm writing a fan-fic where terrorists attack DC, and i wondered if they should worry about trying to seize the armory for the kit, or should they try to seize it and find it's just a dirty great hall and there's nowt there?

Nope, it's just a convention center, basically.

It's right next to the stadium where the soccer team plays.

Lived in D.C. for three years. But I wouldn't let that stop you, captcalhoun, necessarily. When it comes to D.C., Dan Brown novels, movies like National Treasure and shows like 24 invent all kinds of secret, underground areas in what we may perceive as a "glorified convention center." Enjoy writing!

i think i'll put in a joke where one of the foreign terrorists says 'are we hitting the DC Armory?' and one of the American terrorists says 'why? it's just a convention centre'....

Maybe some kryptonite and spare batarangs.

Nah. Have them say "why? The Nationals don't play at RFK anymore".

When will we get questions for us Marvel residents?

The scene at the end of "Raider of the Lost Ark," was filmed in the secret chamber directly beneath the Capital Rotunda.

Plenty of weapons there.
