It was likely a hand made gun. Like a 3d printed thing.
Either way, the dude should have been more careful and at least buried the evidence somewhere.
We should all be taking notes on how they found him, and put that in a checklist.
- Some employee at McDonald's recognized him and ratted him out. Class traitor.
  
  To be fair, that worker probably did not know the scope of the Situation

  Why?
  That still leaves a substantial paper trail, the real gangsta move is always the OG move. Just buy one used from a "private seller" without even an ID let alone a background check.
  Like, if you think building a p80 would be less risk, you have no idea how easy it is to buy a gun without a background check in America...
  
  How do you find a person who sells guns illegally? I don’t think that’s as easy as you think
  
  How do you find a person who sells guns illegally?
  It's not illegal...
  If I want to sell a gun. I can sell it to a person I see walking down the street without even asking what their name is. If you've ever walked by a gunshow parking lot, that's something that actually happens.
  They could have just gotten out of 40 years of prison, unless I explicitly know they can't own a gun, I literally and legally can't break any laws by selling them one.
  Which is why lots of "private seller" don't ask names.
  I don’t think that’s as easy as you think
  If you don't want to wait on a gun show, lots of online websites exist to facilitate private sales.
  I'm not saying it should be like this, I'm saying this is currently American law.
  And there are a metric shit ton of loopholes, that no one seems interested in closing.
  
  Walking around a gun show to find someone selling guns for cash out of their trunk seems like a really good way to meet a cop lol
  
  Again, it's 100% legal... So not sure why you'd worry about meeting a cop
  I dunno, it doesn't feel like me explaining anything has had any effect. I'm sorry I couldn't explain this better.
  
  I guess my state is pretty strict. All sales for any reason go through a licensed dealer.
