The place where the jackal purchased his gun from


Serious answers now please. Are there actually places like that that are almost like gentleman's clubs for international organized crime figures where they can drink scotch, smoke cigars and purchase weapons like that and if so how are they allowed to legally exist? Also (best guess) would they have computers like the one the jackal spoke to?

I don't know about clubs, but there are dark websites that sell such items for bitcoins.

Yes!!! He was however in his bank doing private banking. He got online, back in 97, there was another form of DW and SR was not operational. There was chat rooms that started with kiddy porn but evolved into arms trade and drugs shortly after. Now you need to go pretty deep in order to obtain a Gatling or other heavy weapons. The weapons are shipped without gun oil as this oil show up on scannings.

This scene was highly unbelievable to me. From the crime shows I've watched and police reports I've read most illegal arms dealers just work out of the back of their cars or have a small warehouse space. When he agreed to pay $200,000 for some weapon I almost laughed because that was a $10,000 item even if acquired illegally.
