Looking for a word
The soldier entered, carrying three AK-47's he'd taken from the killed terrorists.
Hi. I had a word in mind I would use instead of "taken", but I can't come up with it. I've tried searching for it but I can't find it. So, please help, which words could be used instead of "taken" here? Thank you in advance.
