    in vietnam we had baby soldiers. babies were booby-trapped and left for americans to rescue. then killed by the explosion. most arms are made overseas now. isreal makes the best. starting with the uzi. for other arms; the parts are made overseas and possibly assembled here. we may have the technology; but others profit from the manufacture.

    I'm sure arms from every country are being sold across the globe. I didn't start this thread to debate which country sells the most small arms and to whom. I saw a sad and disturbing article and thought I would share it with the rest of the Train.

    Thank you for posting the article......."children soldiers" are something that we as species can't seem to get away from........we see this time and again in underdeveloped nation-states. Was it in Cambodia or Laos where the two teenage boys were the head of a militant group in the country's hinterlands?

    I may be wrong but I believe it was Laos.

    I can't remember....but I know that it was one of the two.....I wonder if I kept any articles on that.....I doubt it. I want to say that their "movement" had a religious style name........"The Children of God" or some such.

    sorry; the second part of my post was directed at the person that said the us is the biggest builder of arms. even most gun manufacturers moved overseas. didn't mean to get off track.

    Yeah a lot of countries don't use the Russian AK.

    They use the cheaper Chinese rip-off. Exacly the same thing except made with plastic versus wood and weaker metal.

    Every insurgent I ever came across either had an AK, PKM or RPG 7 or 9. Predominantly though, the AK has been the choice weapon on a multitude of continents even today.
