Jesus, where are the Chins getting all these firearms?

Is it part of their relocation package to Cambodia?

When they land here are they're handed a pistol, list of the top 5 money laundering facilities, meth cooking warehouses and VOIP scam headquarters and left to run amok?

I'm not certain but it looks like a converted blank gun. I believe these weapons are coming from Thailand. Even a blank gun can be dangerous. I shot myself in the head with one when I was about 14. We had just seen the Deerhunter a few days before so we played Russian roulette. It had some sort of side vent and it burned holes in the scarf I had wrapped around my head for authenticity. 8)

As it is just a gas/blank gun, you can pick them up in UK (where guns are illegal) quite easily for under $200. Not exactly Scarface.

"The Retay XPro is a medium type blank firing pistol, made with a polymer frame and is semi automatic. The pistol also features a double action. Finished in blue and is top venting to comply with UK laws. However this pistol still gives off a realistic feel to it.

Firing 9mm P.A.K blank rounds. Perfect for bird scaring."

Those don't look like blanks in the photo though so maybe it's been converted?

Aside from this blank gun that uses real bullets -
The styling of Chinese sidearms is amazingly Darth Vaderish - like something designed by a 12 year old boy.
Do they hope to sell these to Americans on the domestic market because they are not military from the look of the models posted here.
