Perceptions and Reality of Small Arms in Afghanistan

    There certainly exist a large number of myths and misconceptions about small arms in Afghanistan. Everything from the names of certain firearms available to how they are perceived in the country has been over exaggerated or hyped up to the point of no return. Surprisingly there are almost as many myths in the country of Afghanistan itself than those that exist in the United States and Europe. Some of these are quite harmless but others involve safety and safe firearms handling which can at times lead to negligent discharge and death.

    In this video Miles discusses a number of these myths and misconceptions while addressing the reality of small arms on the ground in the country itself. Everything from incorrect names, how different firearms are priced in the society, to why safety standards are so dangerously low within the city of Kabul when it comes to small arms handling is discussed in great depth.
