I just watched a piece from Detroit discussing the Draco pistol. I know nothing about them, what do you all know?
Detroit PD says they have seized about 50 of them over the past year, they are apparently popular with the thugs. It came up because a Detroit officer was killed by a 19-year-old with one of thesewell, i know that you must have googled it, so did i, and my first time hearing/seeing it myself..Century Arms, (the ones famous for importing TURKISH guns from CANIK @KillerFord1977 ....lol), are importing these as well

The photo they showed looks like a super shortyIt’s an AK pistol…muzzle flash monster.
I think the ones with AKSU length barrels (9”? 10”) are actually pretty decent, but the super shorties? Not worth it.
If the person in the next lane is shooting one of these it will stop your heart. At my place it’s always some young dude showing off to a girl who shoots these.The photo they showed looks like a super shorty

the "gang bangers" are the ones that are impressed, by the thought of how it can hold dozens of rounds, and shoot up the other gang bangers across the street, as they drive by. as it is, the gang bangers shoot indiscriminatly, so spraying bullets is impressive to them.I live not far enough from Detroit, had to take my wife to the cardiac Dr down in the suburbs there yesterday.
See them on the news fairly often. They look tough and have a monster muzzle blast. Add to that they are easy to hide, the gang bangers here love them.
I shot one, was not overly impressed.
Spraying bullets is the only means for these thugs to have a chance of hitting their rivals.the "gang bangers" are the ones that are impressed, by the thought of how it can hold dozens of rounds, and shoot up the other gang bangers across the street, as they drive by. as it is, the gang bangers shoot indiscriminatly, so spraying bullets is impressive to them.
i know..!!Spraying bullets is the only means for these thugs to have a chance of hitting their rivals.
This is the Micro Draco. I have one, and as xdman say, fun to shoot. I shot mine at an outdoor range where I was the only one there. It’s pretty loud, and mine is exactly as your posted picture (no binary trigger or brace (yetThe photo they showed looks like a super shorty

)). Atlantic Firearms recently got a large shipment of Dracos, especially the larger size pistols. Looks like Century Arms is importing a lot of them into the country but I wasn’t aware of their popularity with gangs.
Straw buyers, almost certainly.Most of these thugs could not legally buy a firearm. If Detroit police have seized 50 in a year, how are the thugs getting them? I can understand one here or there coming out of a burglary, but not in these numbers. Stolen from warehouses or in shipment? Smuggled from Mexico? Straw b buyers? I have questions....
The usual method for certain individuals, who cannot legally purchase a gun, to obtain a gun is similar to their method for leasing luxury vehicles without any employment or credit history. The "Big Girl with Good Credit" method for leasing cars equates to the Straw-Buyer method for obtaining firearms. Until the Feds, State, or local agencies in Detroit begin seeking serious criminal penalties for lying on ATF forms, the problem will continue.Most of these thugs could not legally buy a firearm.
