    WTF? Wasn’t it just Prvi Partizan ammo plant that blew up? Seems a little odd.

    Ah here it is…

  2. guy Says:

    Bah, nm. Shoulda read the link first. “…as the plant was being dismantled as part of a planned decommissioning.”

    Consider it dismantled I guess.

  3. MAX Says:

    it’s not really an ammunition plant, more of a shop
    But it is a large arsenal with conventional weapons stored there starting from WWII.
    I served there for 3 years back in 80-s

    I wonder if the ammo shortage has caused some manufacturers to push things a little too hard lately.

    Thank god I have a healthy supply of 9x18mm that should last me until they’re up and running again!

    My first thought was also “Prvi Partizan… ‘Once is accident, twice is coindcedence, three is a conspiracy…'”
    Having read the article, my next thought is “Using explosives to decommission an old ammo plant? What kinds of chemical residues might be all over everything?!

  8. Brigid Says:

    I’m afraid SKS and AK ammo might get more scarce.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
