It all began during World War II when gunmakers in the town of Danao supplied guerillas with weapons against the Japanese. Now 10,000 of Danao's 100,000 residents are involved in the industry. Replicas of M-16, AK-47, Uzi and Ingram sub-machine guns are the most popular firearms. The weapons are later sold to local customers,politicians, military personnel and ordinary civilians. For example, a revolver maybe sold for $ 80 which is already equivalent to a few weeks' wages. They are also very popular among Japanese Yakuza and Chinese mafia.

It's true here too. My brother is married to a Phillipina and many of my brother's inlaws and friends built their own weapons.

I am betting the fit and finish do not match the big makers but in a gun fight all it has to do is fire. Just proves it is possible to build guns in a small garage without a million dollars worth of tools. The big O can push to limit guns but this proves how futile that is.
