The end of the troubles was lost business for some folks. The Armalite and Semtex "importers" made out pretty well for themselves financially, although being involved in any weaponry trade always carries a danger of getting one own limbs blown off by other lunatics in the party.

The provies in particular were a pretty reactionary bunch, and a fairly unstable trade partner. The old adage about never wrestling with a pig is apropos here.
