If he was as smart as you think, the gun would have been broken apart and the individual pieces dumped in a series of rubbish bins.
Tbh, just changing those two parts, boom, different gun, and those parts are cheap. Swap those two, and dump those ideally in a body of water (well ideally two bodies of water), and also don't have the manifesto with a list of possible other targets I heard he was caught with lol. Also should probably ditch the can, melt it if it's pla, or maybe smash it real good.
But his can didn't even have a booster so tbh my bet is he didn't know any of this at all.
(Edit for the FBI and my lawyers: Do not try this at home. This is a crime. I do not advocate for these things, I'm speaking purely hypothetically.)
I think we all need to accept Luigi isn't the criminal mastermind some of us want him to be.
Of course he isn't. He was framed.
I’m not saying they couldn’t have planted the gun and the manifesto on him. That’s always possible. But if they did, I’m assuming they would have done the ballistics tests on the gun before planting it. And why he wouldn’t have ditched it in the Hudson before getting his Egg McMuffin two states away is another question entirely.
