Bank Robbery in Taipei

Except the Mac-10 is a 9mm or .45 cal weapon. Plus the cartridge looks like it is in front of the trigger.

Maybe it’s just foreshortened in the video capture, but it doesn’t look like an ā€œassault rifleā€ or an ā€œM16ā€. More like a modern PDW. Wonder where he got that from? Pretty unusual stuff in these parts, surely?

He only scored 800k. On the risk-return spectrum he’s not scoring highly.

Again, same problem with the bullets. PDW is a 9mm or .40 or .45 caliber weapon. Doesn’t match the evidence found by police investigators which say they found 5 casings of 5.56mm bullets.

Whatever it is, I’d guess it is not the sort of tool supplied by your regular neighbourhood hoodlums.

That’s some black market military grade shit.

It’s probably an airsoft gun, maybe modified to make leathal.

Quite a few go to the mainland and some lived in Taichung county for quite a while, sometimes years without getting caught.

Why not? That’s seems to be a thing here with the local gangsters.

Well, case closed already, they got him in Longtan.

These are normally one shot wonders, the more shots you fire the more likely it will malfunction normally catastrophic. 5.56 that’s a lot of heat/force to disperse over a short period of time. It can be done but not that easy in my none professional opinion.

How much of that 800k did he manage to spend?

Yeah I hear ya, but my money is on an airsoft vs some sort of real deal thing. All you need is the threat that it’s real.

Except they found 5 spent 5.56 casings.

Well my bad… Didn’t catch that detail.

Looks way smaller, some kind of machine pistol thing.
