#5  The mythical "Shutter-Gun" only exists in the misty memories of Bangla folklore and the RAB evidence locker, in its own special tungsten-shelled, velvet-lined case. There is only one, and when Rab-7 has it out on a crossfire call, Rab-9 has to make do with a "country-made" weapon.

#4  It's not a Chinese Burp gun is it?
I'm trying to think of a shitty machine gun, the quality you'd expect to turn up in Bangladesh.
