Guns of Pakistan

[Icarus]

Err..

What would the percentage of Pakistanis like you - the kind who have minor armories ?

KPK= Plenty
Punjab= Few
Sindh= Plenty
Balochistan= Plenty
Gilgit-Baltistan= Few
AJ&K= Few

Almost everyone has one or two weapons. About 20% would have mini-armouries.

Is it easy to get ammo for these weapons ? Does one have to have it endorsed on the arms license.

Ammo is easy to come by though it has to be endorsed on the license.

Lastly, if I am not being too personal - where does on use these weapons ? Can you carry them in public - the ones without a license ?

Range, Skeet Shooting, Occasional Shikar and When on Duty.
Once a month or two, I take all the guns to the range and skeet club, me and friends shoot our ear drums out and then I go home, strip them down and clean each one for next month.

I have a good old .22 Rifle, .32 Colt & 12 Bore.

Hardly get an occasion to use it anymore - shikar is banned.

Shikar banned in all states or just where you live?

Interesting.

Shikar is not permitted across & is as good as history.

Sometimes one gets a licence to shoot vermin - wild boar, Blue Bulls depending on the region and administration- that too under tight scrutiny. One even needs a license to fish - officially.

Occasionally one used to get a partridge or rabbit at best.

Today one can hope to get away if caught after killing a man but there is no hope for someone caught killing wild life or cutting a tree !

Here hunting on official reserves is subject to license but private game farms for the wealthy make it easier for people with connections to still enjoy shikar.

Don't know much about hunting here but its the same story with fishing here too. The fishing licenses are easy and cheap to get but there are restrictions on them. For example you can't use live and/or organic bait in most of the areas etc. The fisheries department has got men every where now. You'd be sitting alone casting and recasting when you'll notice someone has creeped up on you. He'll be wearing civilian clothing and would seem completely un-alarming. He'll start up a random conversation, smiling, which would sooner or later turn into how he's always been interested in fishing but never got the chance and hence doesn't jack about it. He'll start asking you about it very inconspicuously, will inquire what bait, line and pole is best. Then he'll ask you which of these you use. He'll ask you how many you've caught and if one needs a licence to fish. And the moment you give one wrong answer....BAM.....you're on your way to the local police station. You could be sentenced up to 6 months in prison, fined PKR 50,000 or both.

Rock on! That's the ticket.

The Saiga set me back 45,000 and the AK-104 cost me PKR 450,000.

A relative of mine got a "darra" made automatic (burst mode) shotgun with drum mag...for 30,000.... i thought saiga must be worth 70-80K....... also sir is the "auto" version of saiga 12 available in Pakistan? Also my father bought a AK-103 for less than 270K...

There's a semi-auto, the one I had. Can't say for the full auto.

My next weapon will definitely be the vepr 12. Not a big shotgun fan.

that is probably my first question on this forum back in the day and the answer to that is .. none I have seen so far. Probably a .22 by Umarex is around.

I feel that the posts above, though very interesting, are not what this thread is about. The OP wants to compare desi weapons.

If you guys have seen the film "Gangs of Wasseypur" , it shows how the tamancha maker warns against using bicycle frame tubes and asks for truck steering rods for making his guns. Still they keep blowing up!
