The Yakuza get their guns from the Philippines where there is a major cottage industry in knock offs of popular guns. You can see the Mo'berg m500 copies with every security guard in front of every bank in Manila. The guns are made in Cebu. So really the weapons should be equal.

Missed it! I'll have to catch it on the net.

There is a reason fire arms replaced martial arts in combat. They still have a place if you end up unarmed. But at the end of the day a 9th dan is toast if you have an M16.

From what I understand, both the Yakuza and the Mafia took their inspirations from revolutionary secret societies formed in China to overthrow the Mongols, and later the Manchus.

Those Chinese secret societies evolved into the Triads we know today. The Yakuza and the Mafia followed similar paths, from revolutionaries to organized criminals.

So to me, it's really comparing apples to apples.
