· According to eyewitnesses, a man was seen carrying what they described as a large gun and firing from behind. The former PM immediately fell to the ground bleeding.

· Security officers detained the attacker, who has been identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, a former maritime Self Defense Force member. He used a handmade gun and did not attempt to run. He is believed to be in his 40s and is a resident of Nara.

· According to sources, the double-barrelled shotgun the suspect used was reportedly improvised or homemade. The attack was a shock in a country that is one of the safest places in the world and with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.

Everything about homemade guns

· Homemade guns are mainly constructed either artisanally or by a handcrafted process from easily accessible materials. They differ from classic firearms both in appearance and in ballistic behaviour.

· Their construction cost is lower as well compared to standard modern firearms manufactured in factories and are not properly manufactured and tested.

· Commonly, handmade guns can be fashioned from pieces of metal, metallic cylinders for the barrel, nails for the firing pin, or using a piece of wood for the grip.

· In most cases, these guns inflict serious injuries mainly depending on the shooting distance.
