Ah, one of my favorite things.







The Arabic, I'm led to understand, says "China Tower". Mmm, yep.




This one is a little more subtle unless you're passingly familiar with firearms; that's meant to be a tangent sight that you'd slide up and down to adjust for different ranges (really only useful on a rifle anyway), but, well, it should have sensible markings like "100", "200", and so-forth. Like any other knock-offs, knock-off guns run the gamut from "hilariously bad" to "would fool even the guy who made the original".




Who wouldn't want to sport more splendidly?


One of my personal favorites. Note that this was found in Communist China, so "Johnnie Worker" is especially appropriate.

You can't go in to knock-off video games without bringing up Famiclones, and the situation in post-Soviet Russia was especially strange.

The Dendy Chronicles do a pretty good job of explaining it.

"The Grey Elephant's Curse" goes a little more in-depth.
