Confiscated Homemade Poachers' Guns from Zimbabwe

Видео


Cool Forgotten Weapons merch!

I had a chance to visit Hire Arms in Johannesburg — a movie arms supply company. Among many other things in their collection, they had an assortment of extremely crude handmade firearms confiscated from poachers in Zimbabwe. As something we don’t see much of here in the US, I thought they were pretty interesting, even if just in a train wreck sort of way. So I pulled out a couple of the most unusual to put on camera.

    Seeing stuff like this makes me realize game devs don't give post-apocalyptic gunsmiths enough credit sometimes

    To everyone laughing at these guns: try making something better in your shed. Yes these guns look like shit, but they sometimes work

    7:15 does that look to anyone else like a welding seam failed? Can't think of what else would make such a straight failure.

    A large amount of poachers use assault rifles because they the power to kill a large animal but also the capability to fight off law enforcement if they are found.

    What's truly sad is that tigers and lions are teetering on the verge of extinction, due to weapons like these and rich snobs buying the products of poaching. I'm not surprised that any potential alien specie, won't touch our race with a million light years long pole !
