One of the biggest rewards that Kim Jung-Il gave peasants that overachieved or did something heroic was either a color T.V. or a radio. the interesting thing is that T.V's and Radio's in North Korea have no tuner dials in them. They are fixed to one channel, unless your one of the special people in which case you get a Sony Flat screen and a satallite receiver for your house.
But the most overstocked item in the North Korean black market is . . . wait for it . . . color T.V.s
So if you suddenly gave access to guns through the blackmarket or through gifts of Guns they would be turned in for bags of rice since for the most part the average North Korea see's very little rice through the year, most of their food is corn based.
