TV Report on the Weapons Trade in a Village in Pakistan: An AK-47 Goes for Less than a Smartphone
MEMRI TV ^ | 7/29/16 | France 24 Arabic TV (France)

On July 29, France 24 TV aired a report on the illegal weapons production and trade in the village of Darra Adam Khel in Pakistan, "considered the largest black market for knockoff weapons in the region." Weapons workshop owners complained that the trade, which began during the Soviet-Afghanistan war and flourished as a market for importing weapons for the Taliban, is now suffering from a Pakistani government clampdown on insurgency, and their livelihood is under threat.

It just goes to show smart phones are over priced.

I don’t believe this for a second. The guy with the AK would just take the smart phone.

There is a lot less technology in an AK.
