North Korean state media released photos showing leader Kim Jong Un firing a sniper rifle, but experts pointed out that he held the gun incorrectly and doubted he hit the paper target dead center five times like one picture seemed to indicate. The photos were taken during Kim’s visit to an unspecified “defense industry enterprise” last weekend, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Monday. “The modernization of the production process of defense industry enterprises is working at an even higher-level each day,” he raved. As part of the propaganda surrounding his personality cult, one North Korean book declared that Kim was shooting when he was 3 years old, and by age 9, he satisfied his father, Kim Jong-il, by hitting 10 targets within 3 seconds. But a military expert was quick to point out that his posture and grip in the photos was entirely wrong.
