- With Lebanon's security situation worsening every day, business is booming for the country's illegal arms dealers. With a porous border with Syria next door and vast stockpiles of weapons left over from the country's civil war, anyone with enough cash can buy any weapon they want, no questions asked - so VICE News went window shopping to see what's available.

Fake It’s 556 what type of scope kiss could he possibly get!Impressed they had it zero’d
@@krisfleischer7467 Maybe an intimate scope kiss. Still dont know why they send people who have no idea what theyre talking about to these countries
You also notice how they showed him shoot the exact same bottle the other guy shot previously like we wouldn't notice it was the same footage for both shots.
Technically if you translate what he said to English he was saying "Adjust your eyes, adjust your eyes!" So he assumed he needed to adjust them closer.

It was cool how the reporter hit the bottle, they all went quite, I bet they expected him to miss.
The two clips of the shot pepsi bottle are identical, i really doubt the reporter even fired a bullet. His eye was touching the scope so if he fired he would have hurt himself.
But fantastic news report from Vice as always.
***** Nah not for shooting a bottle. Pepsi may hunt him down though lmao.
Artur McCloud barely any kick in that m16...
The target was not that far away and conditions were good enough to cause a non-deviated shot.
If it was further away it would be more impressive.
They all went quite what.
Honestly I couldn’t help but laugh when the Sunni militia was like “we love American democracy and guns”.
its funny but true they love the USA because of the hatred to Hezbollah and Iran.
and about democracy unless u trying to trap them with "but Saudi Arabia" they would tell u they prefer to live in democracy otherwise they would be apologetic because Saudi Arabia is supporting them as well.
@STORM WARRIOR he literally just stated what was said in the video. do you have any idea what you're talking about?
Ordinarily Day in Tripoli:
*kid whipping out his M4 fully kitted with a drum mag*
i’m in lebanon rn and we live like this avery day

This kid has a better loadout irl than me in cod, what the hell
I live in Lebanon and fortunately it's a very very very small part where the situation is like this...
muslim police is banning accounts on youtube it is , tripoli is almost all sunni muslim
@muslim police is banning accounts on youtube nope
@muslim police is banning accounts on youtube actually its mostly in where 'people' considers 'rebellions' in syria are there brothers in religion and they must stand with them for ther cause
Exactlt

Why do they give their kids Joe Dirt haircuts?
+Jeffrey Hack that hair do is what they call the infamous mullet. maybe libya is 30 years behind. that kid sure did have a prett mean mullet like billy ray cyrus
+Nareerat Edwards lebanon not libya
where u think Joe dirt got his hair cut u duck
They probably like to look like Americans
hahhahahahaha
10:45 and 10:48 are the same clip so they made it look like the reporter hit it
😂
IT is
wooooooow wtf why would they do this
what other hidden agendas do they have
Wtf i just realised
I realized this and was looking for signs of scope-punch on his eye afterward haha
3:13 The way he says “M16” 😂😂
L7 MS 😂👌🏻
I'd like to know why he has a rocket held on with scope rings?
“Uma-sucksah-tén”
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!
The guns shown on this clip are pretty much well known weapons, most 13 year olds today could have identified them.
Also, he didn't speak the language. He has balls though, I wouldn't really like to venture into Tripoli.
Lol
10:50 I was thinking, well here goes that reporters eye...
@@fallingumbrellahunter205 lol that's what I was about to say.
My favorite part was him trying to casually hold an M-16 and talk to this guy.
Fun fact: Video games that use real weapons in games have to pay money to the companies that own the weapons.
Arma had to pay a shit load...
not really, not at all, only if you refer to weapons by their manufacturing designation you might be noticed, and only of the company really feels the need to, they can file an infrigement lawsuit.
this is why many games like Couter Strike for example make fake names for otherwise real weapons, like in Couter Strike the Desert Eagle os called the "Night Hawk". millitary designation of weapons aren't copyrighted, so you can call an M-16 an M-16A4, but you can't call it a Colt CAR-15...
also, if anything video game companies GET PAID to advertise guns in their games, and the best example is Medal Of Honor: Warfighter.
AK are not copyrighted either.
@@johnhenderson7112 That's because AK-47 is a military designation for "Automatic Kalashnikov 1947" not a company, therefore can't be copyrighted.
@@jagermaster3931 I knoooooooo!!
How does vice even find these people?
I think the reporter is lebanese so he knows where to find them, vice has reporters in every country.
Reporter is british lebanese
Chris Vaughn the reporter is British Greek
@@chrisabikhalil1774 ...that cant speak a lick of arabic...
yeah NAH.
It's pretty easy to find arms dealers in Leb if you're looking for one.
14:17 “ I am pretty tempted”
Who wouldn't lol
Lol...
The lack of gun safety is hilarious, I wonder how many times they shot themselves on the daily
It was disconcerting how many of the kids seemed to know nothing about gun safety. Smh at least we do that in america
You don't need gun safety when you've got Allah on your side.
They used the same clip so it didnt look like he missed xD 10:44
They didn't have the camera setup man use your brain it was raining
@@mzon772 Oh god you're stupid... It's fucking vice, ofc they're gonna do something like that. Their liberal ass don't care lmao
I must say, the Vice videos are slowly becoming 'better'... anyone agree?
Umm, they always been this way. Maybe you're one of those guys who whine whenever Vice puts out another non-war documentaries on their main channel.
John Do He isn't saying VICE was ever bad, he is just saying they are getting better. I would agree for the most part, their newer reporters are amazing especially Aris (the guy in this video). I would like to see more North Korean content, but I know it's hard as fuck to get so I can make do.
John Do Like the ones with people who just had sex?
John Do I think you'll find that I never said Vice was 'bad', nor did I mention that I 'whine whenever Vice puts out another non-war' documentary, much like Spankin DaBagel stated. Yes, I do prefer war documentaries because they're very interesting to watch, and most of the Vice content is related to war.
Vice always been good. They only getting better. Their cover on outside the states are just amazing.
6:07 3000 USD for a Browning hi-power is a massive ripoff.
Well in lebanon pistols and self defense guns are much more expensive than real war weapons. This guy got a hi power for 3000$, for that price you can get an rpg and 10 shots
This gun is on HIGH demand and verry loved in lebanon , thats why its soo expensive
8 round gun in Lebanon? I dont know how far a browning would get you self defense wise in Lebanon
@@TheGamingTrent lebanon is safer than america, so pretty far
@@TheGamingTrent Browning Hi-Power is 13+1 in 9mm bud. If that is an FN German Hi-Power from WW2 (somewhat likely) that price is actually reasonable.
No matter what country, theirs somebody somewhere selling anything you could want for a reasonable price.
Drugs, Vacations, Sex all costs to much in USA but are cheap in other parts of the world.
Why are you always looking at Tripoli? Making your audience think that's how the rest of Lebanon is.
well because thats where the biggest arm dealings happen...u can't expect them to got to Downtown Beirut to find contents u know
SayWhat IThink actually we are the most religiously diverse country in the middle East who also conjointly live peacefully
SayWhat IThink I’ve been to Lebanon 4 times, if you think this is the norm then you’re delusional. Take your uneducated opinions and shove them up your ass, because no one wants to hear them.
SayWhat IThink THIS IS IN TRIPOLI. Tripoli is one city, stuff like this doesn’t occur anywhere else in Lebanon. You call me uneducated but I’ve literally lived years of my life in Lebanon and I know what the county is like. Being a little keyboard warrior and calling people pigs isn’t going to do you any good. You don’t know their reasons for being like this, and you shouldn’t stereotype that the whole of Lebanon is like this and you certainly shouldn’t discriminate against a whole religion, because I’ll tell you now, coming from a Christian, id 100% rather be friends with Muslims then to befriend a guy that calls people he doesn’t even know pigs and terrorists.
Dylan Shalala My girlfriend is Jordanian, from what I've heard Lebanon is some sort of an Arabic dream. Rich in culture and forward thinking for the most part. A few of my classmates and friends come from Syria, Palestine, and Jordan; they all love it, except for Beruit and Tripoli 😂
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
Ladislav Milko now who is making a big joe of him self, me or you? i was calling the little boys because they are infact little boys, how els should you describe them? and you need a psychiatric by the way, you think like you have seen so mutch more combat and death then others that you think you are better or know better then other people. your type of people are sick in the head. or you are just pretending as if you have seen combat whilst infact you are just a lonely boy sitting at home comfortable behind his Xbox or playstation and watching star wars or something.
Ala-eddine el ouazzani how are they little boys you stupid shit they are all grown men
grown men are 20+ years old. now i know they are grown in there mind, but i was describing them from outside. and dont be calling me stupid, you fucking miserable boy thats probably even playing minecraft. one thing is for sure, they are bigger then you.
haha those are KAC PDW Bizon airsofts hah

That bottle seemed to have been shot twice and landed in the same spot twice.
American : We are pro-gun because we love freedom!
Lebanon : Hold my $1500 RPG
The rpg for 1500$ is expensive because of the war in tripoli, when there isn't war, you can have one in a range of 500$ to 1000$
So with 1500$ you can have an rpg, some rounds and an ak47 for free
@@nassifthegamer2672wow,, I think that rpg for 1500$is handmade one, the real choice good is the way more expensive.
@@eros7872 nah mate, we talking russian rpgs, russian aks...
Like ik someone that bought a chinese ak that is in great condition last month with 2 mags loaded for 300 us$ i mean this is a good price, that same ak is for 400$ for other dealers, a russian one can vary from 800$ to 1200$ depending on the variant, the condition, rarity, if it was genuine...
And i guess rn the rpg is like a max between 600$ and 1000$(also real stuff)
And just remember, these are not civilian graded or anything, these are military graded, like some m16s and m4s are literally guns captured from the Israeli military or other forces that have them(this is for all the guns in here also)

They don't even know how to hold/handle a rifle. Never point the barrel towards people.
Yeah that's the first thing anyone should be taught. And kids for Christ's sakes...
Valuable info there chief. Only if they had someone like you to show them the proper way of holding a weapon...
most of the time they seem like they are just firing wildly off into the distance, not aiming at anything in particular - bad guys somewhere over there if im lucky ill hit them???

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
