Meh..... Put them in the USA and have them speaking English and you've got the old Colt factory turning out finely tuned, hand fitted firearms like they made in the good old days with none of the new fangled MIM and CNC machining. Just like bootlegging moonshine only it's in the Philippines and it's 1911's instead of Appalachia and whiskey.
Years abo I watched them make a 1911 from a railroad rail. What a determined populace can do when they have to....kinda like the USA used to be.

I’ve seen this before. I don’t remember when or where, but it’s pretty wild that those folk can do it. It reinforces the old saying, “necessity is the mother of invention”.

Here’s my Filipino Bolo, made by Negritos, a Tribal Mountain People.
Most likely started life as a car spring.
Water Buffalo Horn on the handle.
Bought it at the Jungle Survival School Snack Bar, Clark AB, Philippines.
The Snack Bar was operated by Negritos, who had a side hustle selling stuff.
