CHAPAINAWABGANJ, July 8 (UNB): Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) personnel Wednesday recovered six one-shooter guns and 10 bullets from the in-law's house of Islamist leader Selim, arrested Tuesday from the same house at Zaharpur in Sadar Upazila reportedly after an encounter.

Selim, second-in-command of 'Islam and Muslim', a new offshoot of the outlawed militant organisation JMB, was arrested after he was wounded by bullet when RAB and BDR troops raided the house under a hunt launched following the recent arrest of the group's chief and his two sidekicks. A pistol, nine rounds of bullet and two magazines were also recovered during Tuesday raid.

Following the statement of Selim, RAB raided his in-law's house again this morning and dug out six one-shooter guns and 10 bullets dumped under the floor of a room. None was arrested during the arms haul.
Some number two this guy was. One-shooters? Ten bullets? Pah.
More home-made zipguns. These are what we suspect are commonly called "Shutterguns" when found at the feet of a "crossfire" victim. In a world seemingly awash in AK-47's, Bangladeshies make their own weapons. I have no idea why.
Some men like to tie flies, others make shutterguns.

#1  Ten bullets is a veritable treasure trove of ammunition in Bangla.
