The town where an AK-47 sells for less than the price of a smartphone

Arms dealers at a Pakistani village are selling deadly AK-47 assault rifles for £95 - less than the price of some smartphones.
Darra Adam Khel, a town in a tribal area of Pakistan close the Afghan border , is considered the largest black market for knock-off weapons in the region.
As well as AK-47s - a powerful and easily-maintained assault rifle popular with terrorists and criminals worldwide - buyers can get hold of submachineguns, pistols and shotguns.
There are hundreds of gun shops scattered throughout the region. The industry is illegal but the government has turned a blind eye for years - although they are now cracking down.

Khattab Ghoul, a weapons workshop owner, told France24: "This is an MP5 submachine gun (a firearm used by British special forces).
"I’ve been manufacturing it for 20 years and I sell it for only 60 Euros (£51)
“It’s production costs around £40 (£34)."
The trade began in the 1980s after the Soviet Union invaded neighbouring Afghanistan. Techniques are now passed on from father to son.

After the Soviets retreated the town's manufacturers and dealers started selling weapons to the Taliban.
Now the Pakistani government is clamping down on jihadist militants in the nation.
Muzzamil Khan, another gunmaker, has been producing arms for 30 year, but has recently scaled back production.
He said: “Production was going well until the Pakistani Army intervened."
