Gunmaking/Gun Trade in Pakistan

I don't think this has been posted here.

Some of the crap aside (Luger = 'pure evil') I thought it was interesting to see some of the equiptment being used.

Not sure that I'd want to seat bullets with a hammer, though.  :O

It's been posted here or on THR before.  Looks like a much nicer, larger version than what I remember. 

I've heard the Darra weapons are pretty decent. Well made, just usually poor metal.  They wear out faster than most commercial weapons, but if they work for the first shot, they're good to go for a bit.  They occasionally make weapons they've never physically studied before, with interesting internals to compensate.
