afpost is a maga/nazi account. af = 'america first'

Weird for a nazi account to post shit that makes north Korea look cool but i'll take it

[–] dead@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

The account also confuses a lot of people because there is a very good french news agency called AFP (Agence France-Presse).

Man I'd love to tour a Korean gun factory

I heard one time that one of their munitions factories has a section that specifically makes copies of western guns like the M16 and browning hi-power and that's kinda cool if true.

Is that a Zastava pistol or maybe a locally made DPRK copy of it? If so that's pretty cool.

I say it looks like a zastava because it's the only pistol I know with that kind of shape on the grip, plus it kinda looks like the ejector faces upwards.

Furthermore uncritical support to the DPRK in its courageous struggle against the genocidal Epstein Zionist empire.

Perhaps a SIG P220/P226 copy?

But the SIG and the Zastava CZ99 are pretty similar-looking, so not sure

There's a Chinese copy of the P226, so maybe the DPRK also builds some (they definitely make a CZ-75 derivative locally: https://smallarmsreview.com/north-korean-pistol-baek-du-san/)

Oh yeah I could see it being a copy of the sig too. The DPRK's munitions production is really impressive.
