Lebanon's Illegal Arms Dealers 

WATCH NEXT: How Mexican Drug Cartels Get Meth Into The U.S. - bit.ly/2rwVDkl

I buy all my guns from a guy called "T Rex". He's a small arms dealer.

"keep your eye away" *gets it closer* "keep your eye away!" *gets it even closer*

America: WE are the most pro gun country in the world! Lebanon: Hold my beer!

When your parents don’t have money for gta you improvise 😂😂

$1500 for a full auto rpk? Now that is an affordable powerhouse.

Why do they give their kids Joe Dirt haircuts?

Honestly I couldn’t help but laugh when the Sunni militia was like “we love American democracy and guns”.

Ordinarily Day in Tripoli: *kid whipping out his M4 fully kitted with a drum mag*

It was cool how the reporter hit the bottle, they all went quite, I bet they expected him to miss.

I live in Lebanon and fortunately it's a very very very small part where the situation is like this...

3:13 The way he says “M16” 😂😂

10:45 and 10:48 are the same clip so they made it look like the reporter hit it

10:50 I was thinking, well here goes that reporters eye...

Fun fact: Video games that use real weapons in games have to pay money to the companies that own the weapons.

My favorite part was him trying to casually hold an M-16 and talk to this guy.

The lack of gun safety is hilarious, I wonder how many times they shot themselves on the daily

It's so difficult to find a news journalist who actually know something about the weapons used in their stories. Good job VICE on finding this guy!

They used the same clip so it didnt look like he missed xD 10:44

14:17 “ I am pretty tempted”

6:07 3000 USD for a Browning hi-power is a massive ripoff.

I must say, the Vice videos are slowly becoming 'better'... anyone agree?

How does vice even find these people?

Evolution of RU-vid Ads. 2010: No ads. 2015: Skip ads. 2018: Skip ads after 5 seconds. 2020: Video will play after ads. 2030: Video may play 2040: Video unavailable, watch ads. 2050: RU-vid renames "AdTube".

No matter what country, theirs somebody somewhere selling anything you could want for a reasonable price.

Why are you always looking at Tripoli? Making your audience think that's how the rest of Lebanon is.

The big guy towards the end looks like DJ Khaled

American : We are pro-gun because we love freedom! Lebanon : Hold my $1500 RPG

11:20 "...in the capital Beirut, the black market arms trade is a *booming* industry." That did not age well

i love this world, in the end everybody are in the same side. the making money side.

Those guns that the little boys were playing with are airsoftguns. It litterally says uses 6mm bb on the box. And a real version of that Knights Armament PDW is way to expensive to be in a little boys hand

bro shit himself when he heard the translator say he was gonna go with them

$3,000 for a Colt Commando? My man is ripping people off.

The one kid clearly had an airsoft gun straight of the box with foam and they portray it's as real?

That bottle seemed to have been shot twice and landed in the same spot twice.

Very sad reality for a beautiful country. I will always pray for Lebanon.

3:05 i miss them Call of Duty days man, the way they speak takes me back

11:33 really nice e36

Love that kids mullet!

When he said to the Steyr Aug I'm pretty tempted

“don’t wave it around” *points gun at interviewer*

They don't even know how to hold/handle a rifle. Never point the barrel towards people.

1:30 An Arabic Mullet?!?!?!

13:35 hes literally holding his gun so freely

Since I left Badaro (east Beirut) in ‘91, Nothing has changed.

Hi :) I have been to Lebanon a few times, and i did met a man who showed me some Ak47,s, that was in South Lebanon, great country, great pepole, but the war are terrible :( i was in some towns in the South where poor farmers built their houses, and a day or two later the israelis flyes over there with jets and just bombed the hole thing, and the farmers start building it up again, i was many places, met alot of pepole, i talked to Palestinians, the Hezbolla, the PLO, Fateh... Lebanese government and it was alot of work, i think many had guns, but they actualy never showed it, just a few men did, as a Norwegian i was eating breakfast with the head guard and chief for the PLO security in Beirut, and i dident know it before after hehe, they was trying to learn me some arabic and was very nice to me. actualy, the Palestinians in one camp let me use their bed, they was making food for me, they washed my dirty cloads and did takeme as theire family, i was very lucky to meet so many pepoles and to have seen so many things in Lebanon, i wish i can go back some day, my father was in the UN in Lebanon 1978-1979 1982-1983... so i grew up with storys from the country, he started a organisation for UN veterans who was in Lebanon, they worked for that the pepoles in South Lebanon would build up forrests again and work together even if they was christians or muslims or druse therfore i could come with him a few times before his death. Sorry for my bad english. Best regards from Norway

Vice News: This just in! Mullets are on the rise.

I just adore this kind of content. Its the human condition, character drama, history, travel, news... everything.

Khyber was more impressive but the fact that all those are smuggled in or spoils of war is incredible

10:13 Thats an AR-15, notice how it doesn't have a 3rd hole for the auto sear above the selector.

12:59 Property of US govt. M4 a1 carbine Serial number 36478514

5:45 That’s a Type 1 AK47 which is the original model and is very rare. You can tell by the screw going through the pistol grip which is actually two pieces.

The insight the first guy interviewed provided was incredible.

$3000 for a crappy used handgun?

3:15 “ ema sicastin “ 😂😂😂

that kid with the m-4 looks so happy.

The reporter is the best, looks at the styra aug rifle and says ,,pretty tempting” 😂

9:57 that warmed my heart.

That's pretty bad when they're handing out handfuls of bullets on street corners.

1:10 That spray out the muzzle is crazy

Ya i am in Lebanon rn and this stuff is really rare

Wish I could buy a RPG for $1,500.

Honey, pack up the kids! We're going to Tripoli for family vacation! Don't forget to pack a hat and some sunscreen!

Why is it so funny seeing a kid with an AR, complete with a 100 round drum mag running around

Bro I was like 6-7 years old, when I first Learned how to shoot a gun. 😂

This video does not represent Lebanon AT ALL!

Steyr AUG does actually cost 2k here @ USA

This guy might act timid but he has the heart of a warrior, no fear of going into the unknown.

Damn i think i can get a nice bmw e30 from this place

10:22 Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner must be pround of this guy

there is nothing immoral about selling a piece of metal and wood, its called a voluntary exchange

Very expensive pricing. Especially that Aug. 7k usd? Wow

my brain: oh seems fun living there my body: NO DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT ik it doesnt make sense well neither does my brain

“ When you are shooting don’t wave it around “ ( Proceeds to wave it around his stomach with a bullet on the chamber ) ftw 😂

Their Guns are expensive, but at least they are Full Auto capable unlike in US :D I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a couple of rpgs, explosives and rifles.

1:33 Kids mullet game on point tho

Great Journalism from Vice. This is so underrated !

6:22 Dude has a Type 1 Ak47 underfolder.. Rare bird right there in the AK world

Whoever reads this now this has stopped alot

I need that RPG for my next fishing trip

How do I get these what would I need to do is this still like this Lebanon

yo this is the craziest part to live in i feel like if a one of those kids got mad at you you would get shot in the next couple of minutes

This is what antigun/2ºammendment guys don't understand is the US government/US Army would think what is said in 9:10

That AUG brought me back to Counter Strike

You've got some brave journalists.

As a lebaneas citizen u realy exadurated this video and ur right about the u got money buy anything i went to a store bought a butter fly knife and karambit as a 13 year old the storekeeper said nothing but an impressed look after play with the butter fly knife

when i saw him put his eye against the scope i was like . "oh this is gonna be bad"

American kids: I Wanna play real life COD Lebanon kids: ...

Maaaan the reporter didn’t hit that shot it was the same clip hahaha

Great vid guys, i like how exited the reporter was to handle those guns!

Be grateful for the life you live. Imagine an average American adult having to wake up like these people one day. Pretty eye opening

How does vice get this access shits crazy

Shooting those guns without ear protection is rough, especially under the overhang. I can hear the echo

Finally, a reporter that knows basic firearm etiquette.

0:15 "stop recording me >:("

1:15 : the boys face.. my god he looked helpless and externally sad .

@7:40 "When shooting don't wave it about" While cocking weapon and waving it into the reporters belly

Most excellent documentary! Very neutral, the way journalism is supposed to be done!

1500$ for an RPK? 3000$ for a shitcase CAR-15? i'm sorry but those guys sell their weapons for way too much money for a black market standarts! in Pakistan i could get an AK-74 for 40$ plus ammunition and the gunsmiths warranty. this is some bullshit!

Hell, that Hezbo guy getting his hands on the AUG from the FSA is cool
