Nigerian DIY Shotgun

I haven't read it all but this is a cool set of stories. Below are all of the links, in order. I would read this as a cautionary tale of what this country could become. I surmise from the articles that in Nigeria one can only have a shotty and on top of that, bird shot. He has to make his own defensive slugs and even gun parts like stocks, sights, and scope rings (hose clamps anyone...). He makes zombie jokes and is more tacticool than tactical at times. Amazing how resourceful one needs to be, but can do in a country where the gun laws are fudd friendly at best.

Read some of the comments. They are from Brits and Aussies. You can tell they are realizing this is their future. Apparently in Britain you need a special stamp for slugs on your FID card otherwise you are limited to bird shot.
 
Nice job on the stock. I like it.

He needs to come to the next NES shoot.

Now I feel bad that I thought Nigerians were just trying to break into my bank account.

Good for him.

A bit crude, but effective... he adapted and over came.

Those are not dogs. Those are hyenas. The baboon and the hynea will FK YOU UP. Hyenas have the most powerful bite of any mammal and can crush bones in one chomp. Baboons will shred you into hamburger faily quickly. Fairly good defensive animals unless your enemys are all walking around with AKs.

Amazing video series done on liberia. Want to see a post-apocalyptic world? It is liberia. It is the 7th level hell.
Warn you that this is not for the weak stomach but do watch all 8 parts. It is a sick and twisted place.

Hey I give the guy mad props. He made his situation work for him, and it actually works well for him. I actually think everything he has done on the Mossy looks good,a nd I wish I knew how to get a hold of him . I have a set of ghost rings I would send him.
