"Locally made Baretta Pistol" has become a generic name for any handgun made in Nigeria by blacksmiths, but truth be told, the complexity and precision manufacturing processes required to produce a functional semi-automatic handgun are all FAR above the level of sophistication to be found in a Nigerian blacksmith's workshop. Locally made revolvers do exist, but even they are more likely to back-fire and kill or injure the shooter, than the intended target.

In short, any pistol made by blacksmiths can NEVER compare with the firepower of a REAL Barretta semi-automatic pistol, so perhaps Nigerian journalists should consider choosing an alternative name to describe those crude, hand-made contraptions of the sort shown in the above photograph.

So I'm not longer an afonja pretending to be from Benue?

Smh.

I'm proud of where I come from regardless. I wonder when useless trolls will have the guts to tell the forum the states they are from.

Omenkalives! I am not a troll! I am your friend who cares so much for your well-being and I am from the land of the Rising Sun! I am angry that your people had some special skills that were not leveraged when Fulani herdsmen came calling. You people should rally round these guys to maximize this skill because sooner or later, the chicken will surely come home to roost because the last of the anti Christ in London has his role well scripted! Don't be caught unawares.

You just reminded me of the master Filipino gunmakers who create precise functioning copies of US-made semiautomatic handguns such as the legendary Colt 1911 semiautomatic pistol, using crude fabrication equipment in jungle huts. If the Filipinos can produce such perfectly machined handguns, then certainly Nigerian gunsmiths can do the same thing, starting with an original copy to replicate.

A similar artisanal gunsmithing cottage industry exists in Pakistan as well, where the fine art of creating semi-auto and full auto weapons has been perfected over generations.

Why are you arguing ignorance? Instead of you to ask to be shown pictures you are here displaying your lack of intelligence.
