*two police detectives regard the corpse of a short Asian in a dark alley. The deceased obviously died from gun shot wounds*
Detective Lucas: “Whaddya think? Gang related?”
Detective Jackson: “That’s what I thought, until I looked at the shell casings” *holds up evidence bag*.
Detective Lucas: “Something up?”
Detective Jackson: “The firing pin marks on the primers are square.”
Detective Lucas: “Which means what?”
Detective Jackson: “Only Glocks have square firing pins. You know any gangbangers in this neighborhood with Glocks?”
Detective Lucas: “No… most of them use piece of junk .380s… crap more likely to take your hand off than kill someone.”
Detective Jackson: “Exactly. Yet this guy was killed with top of the line hardware.”
Detective Lucas: “Sounds like there’s a new player in town.”
Det2: *sips coffee*
