Thailand Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I guess I would also surrender if I had a lump of lead in my gut. Crackdown on weapons -OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 So it takes a gunfight with police to get their interest in illegal weapons and the word ' encourages ' doesn't create confidence. As for the BB's promise to take action ... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC1701A Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Police Commander: "So someone actually shot at you? Wow, what was it like." Cop: "First I wet my pants, then run and wait for pants to dry out, you know, group photo." Police Commander: "Congratulations. Well done."

NeverSure Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Does anyone else think that's a very early (and battered) M16? I don't see a forward assist. Does anyone? Could that be Vietnam war era with some modifications to the stocks? I wonder how much of that stuff is floating around unknown in Thailand. ?? Cheers.

I once saw a service .45 pistol (that is just what I called it) with the slide assembly taken off and a piece of pipe fitted which took a single shotgun shell.

JeremyBowskill Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Wouldn't a gunfight have two sides shooting at each other? Surely this is just a shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo0 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 As I stated in a post yesterday, it is alarming the amount of unknown guns in this country in the hands of idiots!! The only saving grace from what I have been told by people with guns is that the ammo is difficult to get . This is why any arrest pic you only see a few bullets in the photos. If it is possible to buy a lot you can bet they wont be cheap !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very serious weapon to have stashed in the back shed Thank goodness, as another poster suggests, the ammo is hard to come by, although I believe it takes a common NATO round, so I don't know why this would be so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, the 9mm is also the NATO handgun round and there's a ton of that in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
