    Note the special care taken for health and safety. Shout out for powder measures too.

    Look, I saw at least one safety glove and one safety sock, so they’re fine by me. Plus I think one of the operatives smiled at one point. Ever seen a robot smile? I haven’t…

    Probably meant to say ‘Made for Serbia’. Or maybe for the IS.

    On the basis they didn’t seem overly fussed about being exact, I’m guessing it’s not got much poke. Wonder what the Proof Houses would make of it?

    [I]and in the shed next door they were probably making the guns to use them in. This is why the west can never defeat these people.

    I'm looking forward to British gangsters watching this video and thinking they can reload 9mm by filling up the case with powder.

    I saw a vid of one ‘workshop’ loading AK rounds with a big pile of orange powder on a rug on the floor. That was homemade in a workshop next door.

    Vectan A1 is green and flakey like that

    It is also suitable for 9mm according to their load data
