Interesting article. (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/18/the-mad-max-gunmaker-fighting-isis.html)

The Kurds got Bubbas, too. And people smart enough not to trust them. "Mohamed says he trusts Bakhtiar for repairs but doesn’t want one of his hybrids...gesturing toward another of Bakhtiar’s creations: an AK-47 that’s been shaved down to pistol length and fitted to fire 7.62x25 pistol ammo instead of its normal 7.62x39 rifle cartridge."

No kidding.

"...a customer handed over a chrome-plated Beretta M9 with gold accents and engraved calligraphy. "

GardoneVT is not amused.

The fighting does affect our business, but I don’t endorse any war,” Bakhtiar says, glancing at his son. “If I end up in a situation where there is peace, I have no problem with that.”

But but! Gun dealers are war mongers!
