    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    What we need is more restrictions on law abiding shooters.

    That will put a stop to this type of thing!

    I wonder if there were any 3D printers involved. Probably not - though I do see a CNC machine in that photo.

    This raid was in the back of my head, and I wondered what happened. A quick google found:

    https://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/n...rearms-factory

    I'm not sure why they chose that model to clone - perhaps because it is fairly simple, or maybe that's all they had to work with.

    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill

    It’s probably coincidence.

    Though it might be an attempt at cover. Set up near a legit (air) gun maker. People hear guns being fired, and assume it’s from the legit maker?

    Glad they got nicked.

    Assume this was an intel-led NCA operation, rather than happenstance by local cops.
