Top/Bottom: Baek-Du-San, North Korean copy of the Czech CZ-75 pistol Middle/Bottom: Type 73 Machinegun. Indigenous design based on the BREN design ETA: The design of this weapon is based on the Soviet Kalashnikov PK machine gun, with certain indigenous features, including dual (magazine & belt) feed system, patterned after the Czechoslovak Vz.52 LMG. AK-74 Assault Rifle. Designated as the Type 88 or 98. Looks like hinge folds to the right instead of left like the Soviet version? |

Is that guy in the first picture's fingers so small that he cannot reac hthe trigger?

Quoted: Ok I'll say it, that CZ is kinda nice! Yep, i'd take one from Dear Leader. |

The culmination of their indigenous firearm design efforts is to copy an 80 year old gun.

All the political elites in North Korea are fatties.
The rest of the population is starving. Must be a Michelle Obama paradise. |

Quoted: Ok I'll say it, that CZ is kinda nice! Yes. It is not overly blinged. I would rock it. |

Why go to the trouble of strewing straw and grass about yourself for camouflage when you're carrying chrome plated weapons?
|
|
Trigger discipline, no longer relevant when you can't reach the trigger.

I actually think the chrome AK looks good and have thought about getting one with black furniture

I know, was more directing my comment at the fact that here in the year 2012, you think they could do better Ohwell, I should be happy that this is the best they can come up with |

I'd image those pimp-y weapons are for parade purposes...
At least I'd hope so. |

They actually manufacture everything up to Scuds-its where the Paki and Iranian missiles have come from. I'm guessing they had these chromed for aesthetic reasons over a Tokarev or RPD,juche style.
As for appearance,these guys are wearing winter jackets so they look bigger but aren't typically hollow cheek gaunt so you know they're politically connected enough to be well fed...on US and ROK aid. |

Pretty sure that "bren" you speak of is actually their local variant of the PKM, the Type 79, except it also has a magazine feeding device like the 249 does, though the fact that there is no caliber commonality between the Type79 and '74/Type88 is kinda (anymore at least if that was the original intention).

Always wondered why we didn't just fly over dropping food packages with American flags all over them.
|
|

Its right in the OP. Its a Type 73 Machine gun. The only Type 79 I can think of is the Chinese Type 79 Submachine Gun. |

Quoted: the little ak-74 looks fucking huge next to rittle norky LOL, I see that. Dude must weigh like 90 lbs! |

Those soldier/peasant-militia photos look like they could be straight out of the 1950's.
|
|
Bling guns for soldiers? Must be the Presidential Honor Guard.
|
|
All i can see are a bunch of guns that are never fired due to lack of ammo....only wear is the selector mark. No handling marks...they sit in racks all the time.

Those soldier/peasant-militia photos look like they could be straight out of the 1950's. They also claim to be taken on March 5. 2012. When the temp was supposed to be 19 degrees in PyoungYang Not a glove or breath plume to be seen. They may BE stock photos from the 50's. |
