Homemade electronic shotgun used to assassinate former Japan PM Shinzo Abe

[Swiffness!]

Okay I saw it brought up in World Politics and this ain't exactly a Japanese news forum but this deserves its own thread cuz GOT DAYUM THIS SOME CRAZY CYBERPUNK SHIT RITE HERE:



The Weapon:





And they recovered THIS one from the dude's house:



what the fuck is that?

I assumed it would be like a slamfire shotgun but this summin else. I saw one person say its a battery powered primer and somebody else say it might be a electronic initiator like they use for pro fireworks shows?

Well, now we know what the next excuse not to pass gun control laws will people: "The laws won't do anything. People will just make their own guns."

 

[GNS]

Nani..

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Was he an ultra nationalist?

seeing an assassination these days is wild but seeing it in Japan is even more wild

then even more wild than that I was expecting the gun to be like an old revolver

this is big news but not for gun control because Japan has guns under control already

 

[Rubato]

Was the shooter missing a pinky finger?

 

[Swiffness!]

Was he an ultra nationalist?

41 years old. Served in the Japanese Navy for 3 years.

Told police he was "dissatisfied" with Abe. (like no shit sherlock)

They have always been good with electronics. It's in their DNA.

Maybe, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a homemade gun was used in a high profile murder attempt.
