More Improvised Weapons from Around the World

Two stories from Impro Guns.

The first story is from South America. Airsoft body hybrid SMG (Brazil)

A number of these have been seized in the last few months, mainly in Bahia state. It appears to be an improvised PA Luty style SMG with the innards dressed up inside an inexpensive spring powered airsoft body. Reportedly chambered in 9mm.

The second story is from Africa. Kidnappers engaged (Nigeria)

There was one AK-47 rifle. Two improvised pistols chambered for shotgun shells were recovered. It isn't clear what gauge but one appears to be 12 gauge, and one in .410 bore or perhaps 20 gauge. There was one 9mm pistol recovered, that may or may not be improvised. (It's a bit rough, but it just may be old.)

As always, click thru for the photos.

Luty-designed firearms usually look pretty good, given how he specified they be built, but dressing them up with Airsoft furniture make them look quite nice. The rest are a bit rough, and the rust doesn't help. Well, the AK looks like a bog-standard AK that's been around the block a few times.

Should Pope Leo Fund Defense of Christians in Nigeria?

From BizPac Review: Blackwater founder calls Pope Leo’s bluff, asks him to fund militia to defend Christians in Nigeria

Blackwater founder Erik Prince has reportedly announced his intention to finance a private militia unit to defend Christians in Nigeria.

He asked Pope Leo XIV to consider funding the effort. But the Pope was too busy blessing a block of ice, or something.

Since the Iraq War, Prince has been advocating for the use of private contractors to assist in conflicts like the one in Nigeria, where Islamic radicals have been butchering Christian believers left and right.

Some Instances of Genocide Don't Fit the Narrative

From Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish we get the following: A Christmas Muslim Genocide in Nigeria.

Muslims celebrated Christmas in Nigeria by massacring around 100 Christians across a dozen communities. The Jihadis hacked Christians to death with machetes and burned down churches as part of a genocidal campaign that has killed 52,000 Christians in over a decade and forced millions to leave their home and become refugees in the African nation.

In America, not a single person marched, rallied or protested over this actual genocide.

I don't watch the 24 hour news service, but if this got any coverage, I think it would have made its way into my news feeds, or my social media. I guess the war against Christians isn't of interest to the media.

The rampaging mobs crying that Hamas is suffering genocide remained silent. Black Lives Matter had nothing to say about it and neither did any of the politicians and social media influencers who spend all of their time pushing fake casualty numbers out of Gaza.

Read the whole thing. The statistics are disturbing.
