Guns in Yemen

[Lakkenbak]

Thanks! I wasn't aware of the Persian carbines. Good ID! You've got sharp eyes. I didn't spot any SKS in that series.



How far down was Nasrallah? My understanding is that the Israelis put a whole bunch of bunker busters through the same holes, basically, right in downtown Beirut.

Unless they are going to flatten mountain ranges in Iran, I doubt they'll achieve much.

Keeping leadership and critical infrastructure under mountain ranges would be an achievement...not to metion removing whatever/whoever doesn't. Not everything worth hitting is under a mountain range, or can stay under one indefinitely, or operate effectively from under one.

While the Israeli strikes might not have done a lot of damage, they sent the message "we can operate in your airspace just fine" loud and clear.

Could the regime survive a long term targeted assassination campaign like Hamas/Hezbollah is going through? What would that do for their standing in the region?

Personally I think the answer is "degrade it all severely". To the point I am not sure if it survives pressure from within, let alone without.

This is from Gunboards, maybe a Turkish FrankenMauser single shot? I'd trade the guy an SKS straight across.

One guy seems to have an m95 straight pull.

Imagine trying to supply ammo for all those different calibres.

good eye, missed that stacking hook the first time. Interesting selection there for sure.

Martini in the background?

Saw that movie.

I don’t mean to generalize but these guys all have really terrible teeth

It was previously the British colony of Aden. The teeth must be legacy.

You guys are being way to critical. I think they look like a fine bunch of “New Canadians” and look they already have their own guns so ya know they already have their PAL and are on our side.

I see a lot more taco in Yemen than I expected. Clearly black plastic stocks mush shoot straighter with irons than the plywood oem stuff.

This "Unit" has Mausers and a drone.

This "Unit" is heavy on Lee Enfields (#1,#4,#5) and looks like one guy has a Steyr M95.





Not sure what this guy is doing?

I'd like to see the Trudeau/Carney Liberals try to take away the guns from this motley crew.

They would both end up with tree pruning saw's in their @sses.

You'll note the guy behind the pruning saw guy has a club.

Worked in the neanderthal days, works today!

Haven't these guys been fighting various Arab coalitions since like the 60s? Remember reading about Yemen being Egypt's Vietnam for a while too, between wars with Israel. Seems like Yemen has been a battleground for decades, not surprised the people there look rough af. Besides just the epic humanitarian catastrophe.

Other than in (what I assume) Govt hands, the SKS seems to be scarce to non-existent.

It’s perfectly legal, it’s only a single shot. Unlike the semi auto clubs some of them carry.

Weird how it doesn't seem to be in anything but "official" use eh? Wonder why?

I'd guess that anyone that can afford a more modern gun goes straight to the AK, Arabs love Kalash.

I'd also guess that it's more lucrative for China to export SKS' to Canada.

There’s probably a Cadex or two in there.

Yup....they tried it out on Pruning Saw Guy.......that's what happened to his face. Don't let the Libtards see this.......they will ban them and send them to Yemen.
