Don't know which is their weapon of preference in America, but in Italy their traditional weapon was initially the sawn-off shotgun and later the Kalashnikov machine gun.
What I don't understand is why the Italian and Italian-American mafia rarely uses sniper rifles, like for example the Russian mafia does. When they killed prosecutors and judges in the 80s and 90s in Italy, they preferred to blow them up with all the bodyguards using bombs instead of quietly do it with a single shot.


Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
