At the bottom of the homepage is a Q&A section, as follows:

Why do you sell guns?

The law in most countries forbid possession of guns by civilians. You cannot go to a local gun store and buy a weapon without license. The only way to get armed is to order guns illegally from a trusted source. In Tor Guns this is 100% safe. We operate only in Tor and we don't reveal your identity to authorities. We also do our best to mask real content of package. All information you provide are strongly encrypted and stored only for the time of processing your order.

Where do you ship?

We ship worldwide except North Korea, Sudan, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Paraguay.

How do you ship?

We work with smugglers from Europe, Asia and USA. They will deliver firearms to your house or drop the package at specific place.

How safe is it?

If you order to EU, we give you 100% guarantee of safe delivery to specified place because there are no border controls. Shipping to other countries includes risk of interception by customs. We do our best to reduce this risk. We use a good stealth to avoid detection. Pistols are taken apart and hidden inside power tool. Rifles are taken apart and shipped within bigger appliances. You will get manual how to assemble parts together. But if there is a delay and you suspect controlled delivery, then contact us immediately.

Which gun for beginner?

If you buy your first gun, we recommend Glock because this is a complete beginner-friendly and well-performant pistol.

How to pay for guns?

You need bitcoins or monero.

Can I pay with credit card?

No. This would fuck both sides of transaction.

How to buy bitcoins?

You can buy bitcoins without revealing your identity for cash, gift cards or bank transfer in many P2P exchanges like Bisq, LocalBitcoins or HodlHold. If you have no experience with cryptocurrencies, we recommend major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase.
Other safe option is to buy bitcoins in ATM if there is one in your city. Make sure it doesn't require scanning your ID. You will also need to install mobile wallet on your phone to store and spend your bitcoins, e.g. Coinomi, Exodus.
Buy more bitcoins than you need to pay because every transaction costs small network fees.

How to avoid getting caught?

There is very low risk of getting caught. We strongly encrypt all information you provide and remove it after completing your order. We also use high-quality stealth to avoid guns detection by customs. To stay safer, follow additional rules:

• Use latest version of Tor Browser
• Don't order guns to your workplace
• Don't tell anyone about your darknet activity

Standard shipping is free and is from 3 to 10 days depending on location.
Overnight shipping costs $30 and is from 1 to 3 days depending on location.

How can I contact you?

The above so-called Q&A is a common tactic used by scam groups to make the website look real and reliable and to enhance the trust of the scammer. The customer service email address ([email protected]) provided by the website is a common anonymous email address on the darknet, and it is impossible to find out the real identity.

Further down, a PGP public key is put in to make the uninitiated think it's high class. Tap into any item, and in addition to a large, high-definition image of the item, there is a professional description of the item, such as capacity, weight, barrel length, trigger type, and so on.

After further choosing to buy and filling in some more purchase information (name, email, address, phone number, etc.) as well as the payment method (Bitcoin, Monroe), an order will be generated directly to your Bitcoin or Monroe payment address, asking the user to pay first.

Here, you should be very familiar with the previous darknet scam sites that are so fraudulent, such as the darknet scam store "Light Money", the same has no membership system, and the same is directly generated a cryptocurrency payment address and asked to pay first.

Technically speaking, the site is developed in PHP, the page is relatively simple, not beautiful, there is no major technical content, and it looks purely to cheat the people who have the destiny to cheat a sum of money is a sum of money.

Test purchases several times found that all show a Bitcoin address 1P1y6DXTpmaZaLb4NSzJBaEYuz3iRJgD3k, but there is currently no transaction information. Presumably, the site generates many Bitcoin addresses, and as soon as the scam succeeds with one, a new one is used.
