“There is nothing we cannot copy,” an arms trader once boasted to BBC.
And its probably true.
Once the first copy is made, each additional copy takes two or three days.
The copies are so painstakingly reproduced that even the serial number of the original is carried over.
Whether these replicas perform as good as the original is, however, another matter.
Hence, if something goes wrong the entire gun has to be thrown away.
The boom years, however, began only in 1979, after the Russians invaded Afghanistan.
Surprisingly, the technology to manufacture these heavy weapons was received from the government itself.
Thousands employed by the gun industry in Darra are now afraid that the new law will affect their industry.
