#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.
