Fun fact about Somaliland: despite it not being recognized by most of the world (Israel kinda does but only because they wanted to do shit opposite Yemen) and being seen as a "breakaway state", it's actually richer, more stable, safer, and more developed than the Country it broke away from: Somalia.

    I’ve got no data to prove or disprove this gut feeling of mine, but aren’t most separatist movements motivated like this?

    Abbiistabbii reminding us that the things the governments tell us about anti-state movements (like the idea that without their government there is no law or morals) aren't exactly true, they're only a biased perspective from those scared of losing power over the public. Fwiw I don't think any group is 'bad' just because they got together and separated from state control, I think it's great that can still happen.

    Thing is, you could use the AK to simply take the iPhone.

    Yes. That Somali AK is undoubtedly full auto and the gobermint won't let me buy one commercially because apparently we live in soviet russia... which is where AKs come from.

    Don't hassle me about this.

    Depending on where you are at, might be the safest choice. Bring an extra and make nuco the deal includes the bullets.

    The way I see it is youre not getting past the airport with an AK. So an iphone for renting an AK isnt a good deal

    You can ship it to yourself quite easily if you follow customs regs.

    Easier if you sneak it in with cargo that just gets tossed on a truck as soon as it comes in. That's cheaper but riskier though.

    That's a great deal - most people would agree to trade their phone for a single bullet

    That’s some trigger discipline even on the magazine.

    Is rounded side still a thing? Despite bad usability and worse repairability?
