KHYBER PAKHTUNKHAWA's CULTURE

Gun culture in Pakistan refers to the long-standing tradition of owning and carrying guns especially among Pashtun men in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Northwest Frontier Province, or NWFP) and generally in the whole country. There are estimated 20 million AK 47's in public use when country's total population is around 150 million. The use of heavy weaponry in Pakistan's tribal culture is common which includes use of rocket launchers, short,medium and long range rockets,anti aircraft guns,mortars etc which are made locally. Hand guns are often considered harmless in Pakistan's heavy weapon culture. The gun culture in NWFP is linked to the "twin pillars of Pathan tribal society," melmastia—hospitality and badal—revenge. One of the centers of gun manufacturing is the town of Darra Adam Khel, near Peshawar, which was historically known for the Lee Enfield .303; however, the town now produces ordnance including the AK-47, the mini-Kalashnikov, and hand-held firearms, including the James Bond pen gun
