A Russian gunmaker has claimed that North Korea copied the design of a sniper rifle produced by his company, after state media released photos of leader Kim Jong Un firing a similar gun during a factory visit earlier this month.
Vladislav Lobaev, CEO of Lobaev Arms, told the Russian media outlet Mash that the rifle Kim used to demonstrate his marksmanship replicates Lobaev Arms’ DVL-10M1 Saboteur.
