Default DIY Weapons of the Syrian Rebels-Great Fotos

There are some seriously good fotos of the Rebel fighters producing their own weaponry and in action as well:

Quote:
While the rebels are using many modern weapons, they've also come up with their own makeshift solutions. In these weapons workshops, anti-aircraft guns are welded to pickup trucks and armor shields are attached to machine guns and cars. Mortar shell nose cones are turned on lathes and explosives are mixed by hand. Homemade grenades are launched by jury-rigged shotguns or giant slingshots in the urban battlefields of Aleppo and Damascus.

The A-Team would be proud.

I thought for a moment there, in pic. 7, that they were trying to imitate a UN vehicle with the big poster on the windscreen.
