#Kazakhstan 🇰🇿: Making a new thread about the firearms used and captured during the protests.

First of all, protestors captured at least two possible PG-7V projectile along with other weapons/ammo, misc items from National Guards in #Almaty etc...

#Kazakhstan 🇰🇿: Another video released earlier today shows demonstrators taking a police weapon #Almaty.

The weapon appears to be a tactical shotgun (similar to Mossberg 500/590 variants) with side-folding stock —likely rubber bullets were loaded as well.

Another video from #Almaty shows one of the security forces was shot dead by protestors.
Unfortunately the weapon can not be seen in the video.

Various hunting rifles/shotguns were captured along with possible air rifles in #Almaty, #Kazakhstan.

Another video from #Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 shows armed looters in #Almaty.

One of the looters appears to be firing a possible AKS-74U pattern carbine.

Stills from the video, showing a lootet firing a possible AKS-74U carbine in #Almaty, #Kazakhstan.

A protestor in #Almaty, #Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. He appears to be carrying a 12G pump-action shotgun.

Might be a Mossberg 590A1 captured from Security Forces, but very hard to ID precisely due to low quality.

Armed conflicts are intensifying in #Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. In a video recorded in #Almaty, the use of automatic weapons in the conflict can be heard (the weapons used are not visible).

Various sources reported that Armanom flew to #Kazakhstan from #Turkey after the start of the riots. It is claimed that he is close to the #Nazarbayev.

Although Armanom has no proven involvements in conflicts, this was was added here out of possibilities.
