When idiots write.
A sob story about supply and demand in the ex-Great Britain, and a gun...of sorts.
Now later they did identify the handgun correctly while patting themselves on the back.
A scare piece made impotent by blatant errors.
The companies website did have this interesting firearm. Then again I like odd guns myself.
The revolver that killed Dre had the words “Made in Russia” imprinted close to the muzzle, and was fitted with a silencer to muffle the shots. But nothing could mask the tang of cordite in the air or silence the screams of Dre's girlfriend Lauren.But the stories image has this auto...not a revolver.

That gun, The Times has discovered, was a Baikal IZH-79 - manufactured in the Russian city of Izhevsk to fire teargas pellets, converted in a Lithuanian workshop to shoot live bullets, smuggled into Britain and sold to the armourer of a South London gang.Yep. They 'identified' the revolver.
