Shinzo Abe Assassination

[Blitzsneed]

That's tragic. My condolences to his family.

This could end up becoming the Franz Ferdinand of 2022.

X. If this happened in the US or western Europe, you might've had some sort of point.

From the looks of the Banzai Blaster 2000, it seems to be just common hardware store pieces with some electronics from either airsoft or RC cars, both of which are big in Japan. Under the barrels you can see what looks to be a Ni-Mh battery from either one of the hobbies. Black powder or propellants like it aren't too hard to make from unregulated components.

I wonder how this'll be spun into an argument for gun control, seeing as there's no 3D printed parts and 3D printed "ghost guns" are the scariest, most marketable kind. They certainly can't ban airsoft, as that's the only reason 90% of Japan's NEETs even bother leaving the house.

Curious as to the shooter's motives. It's one thing to leave a 3D printed single-shot "disposable" pistol designed by someone many times smarter than you printing overnight, while jacking off to cartoons. It's an entirely different beast to cobble together a hardware store zip gun and have the confidence in your craftmanship to actually try to use it. Seems to me this guy didn't do this out of the blue, and put a modicum of thought into it.

Abe has received his 72 virgins, Inshallah!

Could the CCP Have a role in this?

With government backed surgery, ER its likely that Abe could pull through, granted whatever the fuck was in that DIY peashooter didn't hit his or any massive arteries Abe should be fine.

Granted if this isn't some Reagan type stunt which worked for the guy back at 80s to get more votes to get re-elected

Abe had to step down from his position back in 2020 because of his health.

Watching ANN. They have a quote from the suspect on screen: 殺そうと思ってやった "I thought about killing him and did it."

This is kind of a real shock, I hope they execute this SOB real fast.

Quote from suspect: 殺そうと思ってやっと "I thought about killing him and did it."

Think it,
Dream it,
Do it.

Better 3D print my steel pipe, end caps and wire along with my 9v batteries and electrical tape.

Better buy a handgun when they try to ban them after someone commits another mass shooting with a rifle as well!

This could end up becoming the Franz Ferdinand of 2022.

Not unless it turns out the sperg was secretly a member of some group and not just a random psycho like what the initial questioning seems to show.

It's not even an international incident in that it doesn't involves conflict between nations. Who outside of Japan can Japan blame for this?

 

[Probably a deer]

What a way to go. RIP, old man.

There went the great fertilizer of Japan, his only wish for the Japanese to copulate.

The grand joke of it all has to be the fact that when all eyes and ears are on the internal strife of the United States, the one to actually pull the trigger and hit a target is what appears to be a middle-aged Japanese man with aspergers.

Fingers crossed that the Japs will honor him with a new baby boom.

Looks like a double barrel slam pipe shotgun to me. Two pipes attached to a 2x4 with black tape?View attachment 3469045

edit:
didn't see a second set of barrels if it was a slam shotgun from pictures and video later in the thread but it's definitely homemade. Maybe a homemade black powder double barrel judging by all the smoke in the footage.

Knowing Nip's the powder was also homemade. If reports about the shooter was living in stinky conditions with intense odor he definitely had a shelf full of his poop and pee.

 

[MarcoFakeAccount]

New angle,
What in the world is up with people managing to block the shot right before the 2nd blast? It's uncanny.

Edit: Got no idea how to do the embedded video shit, but it's "working" enough.
Edit2: Got it
