Some assault rifles used by the Islamic militants in the Nov 13 Paris attacks and later seized in police raids were produced in the former Yugoslavia’s state arsenal, the company’s director said on Saturday.

Milojko Brzakovic, director of the Zastava (Banner) Arms factory in the city of Kragujevac in central Serbia, said that they were part of a batch of M70 assault rifles, a improved Yugoslav copy of the Soviet-designed AK47, produced in 1987 and 1988.

Wait! That cannot be! The Liberal Think Tanks were chomping at the bits and waiting for the news that they guns were obtained at a gun shown in the US via the loophole!

Wait, it gets better:

pre-implosion Yugoslavia. Those guns could have traded hands a multitude of times.

Correct.
And in both pre-and-post Yugoslav days were widely exported. These could have come from anywhere. Where they were made is irrelevant.

Any AK manufactured in the 80’s could have changed hands and seen action all around the world twice before finding its way to Paris.

According to the media, there are no shotguns. Everything ever made is an assault rifle...

There’s a surveillance video out there that shows one of the killers attempting to fire a pump shotgun. The idiot couldn’t get it to work, sparing several lives I’m sure.

Recently a load of 800 Turkish made shotguns were intercepted in Italy on their way to Belgium, illegally of course.

If he couldn’t get the gun to work the chances of it being a Yugo product are pretty close to zero.

(Speaking from the POV of having owned several, including a Serb manufactured SKS that works every time despite showing obvious signs of a very rough life. Wooden stock tells the tale!)

Obviously they were just trying to help out he poor refugees who will become subsistence hunters of ducks, quail and pheasant. Or is that "peasant?"

I did not see that video, but I saw a still picture that had a French police officer with a pump shotgun, or so it appeared.

That article about the shotgun shooter is two years older than the recent Paris attack.
