Do they shoot brad nails out of those plywood guns? Lol
They couldn't be trusted with real guns?? They are anti-gun?? They are walking point I'm betting. If it was me, I would have made a plywood Abrams Tank. Or a Super Cobra. Or an A10.
Nike will sponsor anybody that hates anything good. I probably own at least ten pairs of sneakers, and none are damned Nikes.
Thats just crazy
Fake news? couldn't get any real pics from Ukraine? weird.
Guy on right looks like Al Bundy
My guess is that it is a training session done before the issuance of a firearm.
Fox had a field reporter talking about 450 megaton weapons that were 30 times the size of the 15 megaton weapon dropped on Nagasaki.
News folks do not seem to make much effort at accuracy.

That oughta scare Putins forces back to their side of the border!💂♂️
They are stage hands at Fox News. They were used to create a story. After the Alec Baldwin thing, these are now the guns for on set
Conserve your ammo gents; magazine changes look rather challenging.
Something for them to hold in their hands while training.
Have you noticed how many are carrying SxS double barrel shotguns?
when I was in central and northern Siberia, shotguns were all the public were allowed to legally own, no centerfire long guns. I’m guessing the Ukraine followed that thought train.

Good trigger discipline.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
How do you say - Pew!, Pew!, Pew! in Ukrainian? Bob
"Pew Pew Pew", I believe.

Wow! I didn't know you spoke Ukrainian! I'm impressed. Bob
I've noticed that in other pictures. My thoughts were as Don stated that they are pictures of training exercises. They may not even have enough rifles for everyone and just issuing them when needed.
Go all out with a PVC , Mini Gun ! ... 🤣
How do you say pew pew in Ukranian?
П'ю П'ю
pronounced pe'yu pe'yu
Pe'yu means hold your nose something stinks in good old American vernacular. I guess if someone handed me a plywood rifle during a Russian invasion I'd think something stinks too. Bob
Here ya go................

A friend of mine sent me a picture of a 79-year-old Ukrainian woman getting her first lesson on how to shoot an AK47 obviously in preparation of the Russian invasion of her country. The photo stirred memories of years ago when the anti-gun crowd claimed the Second Amendment was useless when it comes to defending your homeland with armed citizens. I do not agree with that premise nor do most Ukrainians. My guess is that there are Russian soldiers who also might disagree with that premise.
I have been watching news story after news story regarding how Ukrainians have, and are, preparing to defend their country against the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin. There have been Ukrainians preparing for the Russian invasion for months. Not enough maybe but they are trying and I am proud of them for doing all they can with what they have. Firearms are expensive and hard to get in Ukraine. There is one interview with groups of friends who pooled their money and were able to get two rifles and ammunition. Another interview was a husband and wife team that had acquired a couple of firearms and had been training for six months. Recently the restrictions on firearm purchases and ownership were lifted so nearly every citizen can now exercise their Second Amendment rights, Ukrainian style. In fact, the Ukrainian government is passing out rifles to everyone but they have way too few. For those who can’t get a rifle because of limited supply, those people are getting wooden cutouts to drill with.
While it may sound cool to those with experience with firearms, they do not understand that it takes a lot more than a wood rifle to produce a trained marksman. If you are reading this column, you obviously get it. Even so, I am guessing that there are those in the Russian invading forces who dislike this idea of stepping into a neighborhood and getting shot full of holes.
To those in the anti-gun crowd who preach that a Second Amendment doesn’t make a difference, then why is it that dictators like Putin, Stalin and Chairman Mao always disarm the citizens first? More than 20 years ago, a friend of mine owned a hunting preserve. A couple of years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, a couple of members of the now defunct KGB (Secret Police) came to spend a few days at his hunting lodge. The conversation eventually got around to guns and the Second Amendment. The guests confided to my friend that invading the United States was never a consideration because of the of the armed citizens of the United States. Right now, we are watching a replay of world history from 1939. The cast of characters may have different names but the motives are similar.
