North Korean leader Kim Jong Un aims a rifle at the Sporting Bullet Factory.

Kim Jong Un looks at things... and then shoots them

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a bullet factory, pausing to fire a rifle at the range.

Korea's Central News Agency reported that the supreme commander of the Korean People's Army paid a visit to the Sporting Bullet Factory, which was built under his father's initiative in 1996.

Inspecting the production process, Kim Jong Un underscored the importance of plans to increase production and improve quality by modernizing the factory to bring the factory into what he called the "new century."

After he learned about operations at the plant, he fired a rifle and looked at the sporting gun which Kim Jong Il personally used.

      My thoughts exactly... look at those dinosaurs! I'm also waiting for the North Korean media to put out reports of this guy shooting and magically hitting eleventy-two targets, dead center, with one bullet.

      Shooting without ear or eye protection, huh? Also, what's with the ringed post sight on the barrel of the rifle with a scope mounted? Totally useless and possibly in the way of the scope at best...but it makes it look interesting to those who don't understand such things.
