2 weapons by the look

UPDATE: It was a police drug operation.

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: The latest report says that at 2 pm on August 19, 2021, the police force of the Anti-Drug Department (A7) of the General Commission of the National Police cracked down on drug trafficking at the Heng Leap Guesthouse traffic light along National Road 6A in Sangkat Prek Leap, Khan Chroy Changva, Phnom Penh.

According to local sources, before the incident, cars and motorbikes traveling along Street 6A in a south-to-north direction, intending to leave Phnom Penh, arrived at the Heng Leap guesthouse traffic light along National Road 6A, when police in uniform and civilian clothing stormed the road and fired seven shots at the vehicle, using both short and long weapons, but no one was injured in the operation.

The local police arrived at the scene and confirmed that this case was an operation of the Anti-Drug Department to arrest the suspects, including exhibits.

UPDATE
Armed Traffickers Arrested in Phnom Penh with 28Kgs of Drugs

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): According to the National Police General Commission, on 18 August 2021 at 13:50, the competent forces of the Department of Anti-Drug Crimes (A7), led by Lt. Gen. Soeung Nol, Director Deputy Director of the Phnom Penh Municipal Police, investigated and cracked down on two different targets of drug trafficking. The first took place along National Road 6A, Sangkat Prek Leap, Khan Chroy Changva, Phnom Penh, (which led to a shoot-out), and the second was a raid that took place at # 32, Street C, in Prakar village, Sangkat Prey Sar, Khan Dangkor, Phnom Penh.

It should be noted that during the first operation on National Road 6A the criminals fired at the police, causing the police to fire back in self-defense, and then the perpetrators dropped their weapons and surrendered to the police.


During the dangerous operation, the police arrested two suspects:
1-Kim Tat, male, 38 years old, Khmer,
2-Prak Seth, male, 54 years old, Thai,
and they seized 24 large packs of methamphetamine (ICE) weighing more than 24 kg wrapped in 1kilogram packets of Chinese Tea, 14 packs of ecstasy (MDMA) weighing about 4 kg, and 4 vehicles, 6 mobile phones, a pistol, three shell casings and three unexploded bullets.
Currently, the suspects and the seized evidence have been sent to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court to continue the procedure.

The department of Anti-Drug Crimes seem to have a good force here in the big city, they do seem to get the job done of clearing the streets of drugs, obviously with a result of cutting down on more potential crimes or harm too the actual drug user and their families. The above seem a reasonable amount of drugs that has now been stopped from being sold on the streets, and luckily no one was hurt in the exchange of gunfire.
I wonder what involvement the two men had with this apart from having the drugs in their possession, had they just been simply delivering to whoever, or were they dealers themselves. Had the drugs come from outside or inside the country, and how long would a supply like this last on the streets.

Hilarious. Seven shots fired, two clearly through the windows of the target car, but nobody hit. Where did the other 5 go?
