Hong Kong mob pistol has a mystery： American rough assembly can not be traced back to the source, and it is easy to frame the police.

[Text/Observer Network Wang Shichun]

On December 8, Hong Kong police seized a large number of dangerous weapons, including a compact glock)19/23 pistol and 105 rounds of ammunition. The bullets of this type of pistol are basically the same as those of the active pistol of the Hong Kong Police.

Military commentators of Observer Network judged that this gun was not a legitimate gun produced by Glock’s original factory, but a "black gun" assembled by American manufacturer Polymer80 products, without any logo, number and ballistic record. Although the product sold by Polymer80 is a semi-finished blank, the gun body has been processed to 80%, and the mob may smuggle the rest of the parts "processed with materials" and finally assemble this black gun.

If the mob used this gun to open fire in the crowd, then the Hong Kong police could not produce the ballistic record of this gun in the subsequent investigation. Today, with the intensification of conflicts in Hong Kong, if the Hong Kong police can’t produce ballistic records for a long time, it is bound to be framed by mobs and put the Hong Kong police at a disadvantage.

The real guns and magazines seized are from Hong Kong media.

Hong Kong TVB TV reported on December 8 that 75 police officers from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of the Hong Kong Police raided 11 addresses in Hong Kong and smashed a criminal gang in the early morning of the 8 th. During the illegal assembly in Mong Kok on October 20th, the gang used petrol bombs to attack the Mong Kok Police Station.

In the end, the Hong Kong police seized a large number of dangerous weapons in the mob’s home, including a compact glock)19/23 pistol and 105 bullets. Among them, three magazines are full of bullets. Li Guihua, Senior Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, said that the Hong Kong Police Force had received a tip earlier that "(this gang) plans to use firearms to create chaos in today’s assembly and procession, including shooting police officers or framing police officers to hurt passers-by".

After studying by military commentators of Observer Network, the mob has a "black gun" modified from Glock 19/23 blank made by American manufacturer Polymer80.

Polymer80 is a company specializing in the manufacture of rough firearms within the scope of "permitted by American law". The rough produced by the company can circulate freely in the market without registration even if there is no serial number.The company’s pistol is characterized by no marks, numbers and ballistic records. The Hong Kong police can’t find available information through the ballistic records and serial numbers of firearms.Only through time-consuming and laborious criminal investigation can the source of guns be traced back.

It is worth mentioning that when Polymer80 sells gun blanks, it not only includes rough blanks, but also small parts, clamping fixtures and necessary drill bits. On the official website of Polymer80, there are also documents that teach you how to process it step by step to the usable level.

Glock in the hands of thugs is a product numbered PF940C. Although it is a rough imitation of the compact Glock 19/23, the machining degree has reached 80%, and all the basic parts of the sleeve seat have been machined, while the sleeve, trigger and barrel are sold separately.

Glock pistol is one of the largest selling pistols in the world, so the parts of this pistol are not hard to find. In Southeast Asia, where gun crimes are frequent, many small weapons factories also independently produce the whole gun and parts of Glock pistols. Mobs may use parts smuggled from abroad to assemble a "black gun" without any marks, numbers and ballistic records.

The underground gun workshop in the Philippines is producing the American-made M1911 pistol, but it is not difficult to produce Glock’s parts.

At present, the Hong Kong police have two types of Glock, namely glock 17 and Compact Glock 19, which are currently used by the Hong Kong Police Small Boat Division (Maritime Emergency Response Team), Witness Protection Team, vip protection unit, Tracking Support Team, Airport Special Police Team, Railway Emergency Response Team, Counter-Terrorism Special Service Team and Special Task Company.

Due to the formal introduction channels, every Glock pistol of the Hong Kong police has a clear ballistic record.

Gun experts told Observer.com that if the mob framed the Hong Kong police with this gun, the Hong Kong police could not produce the ballistic record of this gun in the follow-up investigation. Today, with the intensification of conflicts in Hong Kong, if the Hong Kong police can’t produce ballistic records for a long time, it is bound to be hyped by mobs and framed at a disadvantage.

The Hong Kong police are investigating the purpose of the mob holding a gun. Li Guihua said that this is the first time that the Hong Kong police have seized real guns since the "chaotic demonstrations in Hong Kong", so they are very nervous. The source of this real gun will be one of the focuses of the Hong Kong Police Force’s close investigation in the future.

He stressed that this pistol is not a specification used by the Hong Kong Police Force. When someone asked at the press conference whether the perpetrators tried to frame the plainclothes police in Hong Kong this time, Li Guihua said, "I dare not say more now."
