FN F2000. Made in Belgium.
I have to say, these fellas have some serious can-do attitude.
Once they do get themselves some of that sweet, sweet liberty, I'm sure they'll figure out how to stop being dependent on oil exports and get themselves a manufacturing economy going.

Russian made? Why are the instructions in English?

Same reason we used to write shit in German on bombs during WWII?

Because the Libyans speak better English than they do Russian.
No, seriously.

Not only an f2000 but an f2000 with all the bells and whistles, suppressor, fancy optics and grenade launcher. Why can't I have one of those here?

Wasn't the civilian version of that weapon recalled because they put in the wrong firing pins at the factory?

I will never, ever, ever be as badass as this guy. Ever.
All of my Mad Max type fascination aside, these people are incredibly courageous and inspiring. I can't believe this is happening in our lifetimes, it is truly amazing to see.
It's incredible to see the face of civilization changing before our eyes:

But the thing I love 'bout livin' here best
It ain't the mountains, the valleys, the hats, or the boots
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot
We got shotguns and sixguns, we got a shitload of guns
Shootin varments and critters, is a shitload of fun
I don't care about the money, I don't care about the loot
Give me Jack Daniel's whiskey and something to shoot
Now there's a whole herd of elk, right there in a line
But it's a pain in the ass to shoot 'em one at a time
And I'm way below quota; I've had a bad day
Boy what I wouldn't give for just one hand grenade
I don't care about the future, I don't care about the past
As long as I've got some creatures to blast
We got deer, we got elk, we got ol' owls that hoot
And when I've killed them all, they'll be Yankees to shoot
Don' 'cha tailgate me son get off my back
I gotta thirty-ought-six right here in the rack
And this ain't New Jeresy; We don't honk, we don't yell
And if you touch that bumper I'll blow you to hell
I was born and raised way out west
And the thing like 'bout livin' here best
It ain't the mountains, the valleys, the hats, or the boots
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot
