What:
Hitman: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors
Who:
Rex Feral
Where:
The internet underground. And Amazon.
How much:
What price the perfect hit?
Tired of your sloppy contractors forgetting to chop the fingertips off their targets and leaving careless DNA evidence at the homes of your enemies? Sick of spending thousands every time you need a new silencer? Then it's time to stop outsourcing revenge.
Your dreams of living by your reflexes, doing whatever is necessary without regard to moral or legal restrictions are but a few steps away thanks to Hitman: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors (1983). Banned in the US since 1999, it's still available through Amazon and, for paltry shipping, will appraise you of the ins and outs of the perfect hit.
Learn how to make, without the need of special engineering ability or expensive machine shop tools, a silencer of the highest quality and effectiveness. Blood spatter can be avoided! Lock picking need not be a headache. Learn to run a rat-tail file or wire cleaning brush down the ore of your gun to change the ballistic markings.
NB: Straying from the path lighted by morality and paved by human decency may lead to eternal damnation and/or criminal charges. ThreeThousand does not advocate the pursuit of "personal" justice. Thanks to Tony Garifalakis.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
