#Bangkok

Wedged in between the streets of the busiest and biggest city in Thailand is the gun market district in Bangkok. Here you have dozens of stores that selling everything ranging from the cheapest Chinese tactical garbage to high-end side by side shotguns or semiautomatic race guns that Thais compete in IPSC and IDPA competitions with throughout the entire country. Although many of the stores are quite camera shy for some reason, we were able to get in touch with one of them that allowed us to film some of their wares that were on display. We looked at some of the handguns, shotguns, and precision rifles that were for sale at a very steep price for the average Thai citizen. In addition we were also able to combine this footage with actual competitions and shooting activities that we were able to join in on while in Thailand.

Turkish owned, Kazakh manufactured, and soon to be Malaysian based subsidiary of Aselsan recently demonstrated a Remote Weapons Station based around the 7.62x51mm NATO Dillon M134 Minigun at Defense & Security 2017 held in Bangkok Thailand. The design has Stabilised Advanced Remote weapon Platform (SARP) as its name and is apart of Aselsan Malaysia, a subsidiary based in Kuala Lumpur. It is a mount that is designed around a variety of weapon systems, primarily the .50 BMG M2 and the FN MAG. However it can also be utilized with a Russian AGL and an M134 Minigun. Included with the platform are a thermal imaging capability, automatic target tracking (to include low flying drones), ballistic computer, and an ability to work in numerous environments. The company has stated that the design is in use by 13 different countries.
