PURULIA: A criminal with alleged links to gangs across the country and even Afghanistan was nabbed in Purulia with nearly 1 kg of uranium on Sunday. The market value of the radioactive element is said to be about $7 million.
When police raided Ishtaq Ahmed's house at Dubra village in the Maoist-dominated Para area after a tip-off, they found a box with 'URM, Made in USA' stamped on it. An automatic revolver, a pipegun and 21 rounds of ammunition were also discovered during the search. Ahmed was arrested and a case filed at Para police station mentioning uranium seizure.
Police haven't opened the sealed box as the substance inside could be dangerously radioactive. It is being sent to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory for tests.
Could this be accurate?
How he got in my purilias, I'll never know.

If that's the kind of box it needs to be, they oughtn't to be able to lift it.
It could be worth $7 million if it’s enriched. But ... what’s an “automatic revolver?”
I don’t know, but I want one!

There have actually been a couple made, but I would guess
that this is just typical media firearms ignorance.
Those wacky Amish...
In a related story, a man was caught with superior potassium in Kazakhstan. :)
The media ignorant? Surely you jest.
Like the one Clint Eastwood used in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". He held the trigger back and just fanned the hammer ;^)
Don’t forget the”pipe gun”.
Who could resist a weapon capable of sticking a corncob pile in the mouth of a charging Liberal!
Imagine a FemiNazi suddenly aware of the 17th Cantury clay pipe in her mouth? And don’t forget the ‘crowd calming’ effect of a belt fed pipe gun capable of firing ‘crack pipes’. That could be so useful in many ghettos that DARPA would possibly develop rotary pipe guns capable of calming whole sections of LA.
Watts comes to mind.

A pipe gun was used by Rodriguez, who was helping out Paul Kersey, in Death Wish 3.
Dang, I just sold a box with that stamp on it on eBay for 19.99.
More accurately, a high capacity, Gatling flintlock.
Indian for modern semiauto pistol.
1 kg is the weight of a cube of uranium metal about 1.5 inches on a side.
gatling?
What would he be using this for?
