Can he bring some Russian SVDs over with him? Those things are incredibly rare in the US.

"The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I *do* rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of *your* enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil. "

With his know-how, the US will be able to funnel weapons to five times the puppet dicatorships it's supplying now. No Death Squad Left Behind.

You'd need to get them built without the safety sear, wouldn't you?

Personally, I'd rather have a PSL with a heavier match barrel.

Rare enough that they get priced over $4K.

Wait guys, we're assuming he's side of things. If he is selling to the other side, then we'll toss him in jail. So really the trial is a way of figuring out of his works for us (not guilty) or is supporting people we don't like.

Like if he just dropped off a big shipment with Chavez, his ass is grass.

Isn't it sad how "merchants of death" are always unassuming guys in drab suits? A REAL Merchant of Death ought to make Rambo cry like a little girl and Machete look like a poseur.

Sweet gun porn lead-off by the way.

I think you're missing the point with weapons dealers and the Lord of War references. The only side the US supports is the one buying weapons. If the US really wanted to stop Chavez buying weapons don't you think they wouldn't buy so much oil from his country.

An example is that the Taliban are buying American weapons from Iran that were transited through Russia and they are using money supplied by American allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to pay for the weapons. In other words, US dollars have been shown repeatedly to be financing and arming both sides of the occupation in Afghanistan. And no one is surprised. Sides? In business, profit is the only side.

Had a friend who was into these novels. It's pretty much what you describe. He's like a murder machine version of Bond.

Precisely.

If you're going to sell Death, you better look the part, IMO.

Yeah, I liked it too. It makes me feel empathy for arms dealers which I guess makes me an asshole.

USP .45: yeah, reference a Hollywood flick completely devoid of reality, you goddamn idiots.

Ummm yeah...his character was based on a real person

Link (new window)

"Former Soviet military officer Viktor Bout, the inspiration for Nicholas Cage's character in the Lord of War, remade himself as an international arms dealer and blood diamonds trafficker following the break-up of the USSR. Using his air charter business to smuggle weapons into the world's conflict zones (circumventing U.N. embargoes), Bout traveled the world with a precious gems expert and accountant in tow, supplying arms to a notorious clientele: Liberia's Charles Taylor, a cast of Congolese warlords, and the Taliban, among others. More surprising, journalists Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun report in their new book on Bout, Merchant of Death, is that the shadowy Tajik-born arms dealer has also provided his services to the U.S. military and several U.S. contractors in Iraq, including Halliburton parent company Kellogg, Brown & Root."

Yeah. I want a Merchant of Death type movie based on someone who looks like Jonah Hex after he's been run through a woodchipper and with more weapons on board than a character at the end of Fallout 3.

Lord of War was awesome(think it's for free on Comcast right now). The movie previews took the humor parts and ONLY showed that, making it look like a dark comedy.

It wasn't a comedy. It was an awesome film that was very badly promoted.
