This is the interesting part of this story - the rest is just noise.

 

That looks like a pellet gun made to resemble a Glock and not an actual firearm.  

 

And speaking of firearms, why do all pistols in Thailand seem to have rubber bands wrapped around the grip?

Better grip, can also be used to deactivate a grip safety without permanent modification.

High unemployment, no welfare net, rampant drug abuse will always result in hogher crime statistics.

 

Inevitable, people will result to drastic measures to feed there families and themselves.

 

I think this bodes bad news for the shortlived "Sandbox" thingamajing.

To hold it together maybe? ????

 

Don't know much about guns like that but in the unlikely situating that there's a screw through the grip to hold it together and given my experience of my family then it probably worked loose and fell out. If it were in our house it would be tied together with a piece of cloth rather than look for the screw.

 

Anyway that's a view into my world. Thanks for listening.  ????
