This video is about fifteen years old.
I think the purpose was to instill disgust and fear into the viewer, but I just really want to go there and buy guns.  They appear to be very good replicas.

I bet they're not.

I know a gun guy from P-Stan...he says they are illegal but basically their Gov't can't afford to care what people are carrying in certain parts of the country. Say what you will about 'em but no sane man would piss off the Paki gun industry. Instead of lobbying they may just start lobbing. Shells, that is.

Imagine what a few hundred U$ would buy if you could do so directly.

All the James Bond crap they could make for you, only limited by your imagination... repros of Curio & Relic stuff that can't be found (easily) anymore.

I wish I could be the Willy Wonka of guns and bring them here as my Oompa Loompas.

Snail-drum Artillery Luger carbines, and Broomhandle Schnellfeuers for ALL! Whee!

There is a certain brand of humor present in the APS.  I do enjoy it.    =D

Heck, I'd jump into it at least twice.
I've always wanted to visit a gun/ammo factory.

I was wondering about that.  The finishes on the guns seem pretty decent.
